During the retreat I attended recently in California, I popped into another studio to have a nosey at what they were doing in Stephanie Lee’s class, and see Lorrie, Lindy and Louise working away on their plaster creations. I have always loved wax, and couldn’t resist having a go myself.
Under their guidance I made this picture – not bad for under an hour!
I can see why Louise has declared it was love at first sight with plaster… I just love the way the glaze seeped into the cracked plaster, and how the wax drank in the brown paint where markings were scratched into it.
My man hung it on the wall yesterday, with the new drill I got him for Christmas (but am now coveting – it’s so cool!)

Have you ever tried playing with plaster and wax? Such fun!
