The Day Before...

This was the day before I will leverage my beeswax forms out of the plaster moulds.  I have made the beeswax thick enough so that, in theory, they will not break.  However, I made them thin enough to show, with proper lighting, the shadow of what lies within.
























As the wax cooled the multitude of layers resulted in a ragged look.  To smooth this I heated the wax up with a heat gun and burnished it with the backside of a spoon.











































The effect it made was wonderful!  I am excited and nervous to take the wax out tomorrow!
