I'm fascinated, and indeed honoured to see your interpretation here Shannon!!💜 Thanks so much for having a go at my messy wax paper idea, you absolutely made my day 🥰👍❤️

And thank YOU for so generously sharing your ideas and talents!!

[@birdietherecycledhippychic642]

As I read this I am hearing your voice.

I know just how you feel, Shannon was one of the first people I subscribed to way back in the 2000s. I also regularly watch you too. Thank you both for showing us so much, XOX joy, Spain

Inspired me as well! Waiting on Amazon to deliver my travel iron at the typing of this message. ❤️ Thank for sharing.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I just used my wax melted to do a collage card in my livestream yesterday. So fun! I might do a video just on that. I bet you would love one and they are not expensive. You can use the wax once the smell is gone for art. I'll check out your friends channel!

[@ShannonGreen]

I love it when serendipity happens! I caught a few minutes of your stream yesterday but missed the wax. I’ll watch again this afternoon when I can actually pay attention. 😊 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Your iron is the same as Joie. I clicked on your video cause your name is the same as my niece. I smiled when you started doing this because I watched Joie video last night. Have fun and do your own thing. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!

[@EvBarney]

the way I get watercolor on a rubber stamp is to dampen the stamp (use a misting bottle - just a little - ) and then use watercolor crayons. you can use more than one color and let them blend as watercolors do. It takes practice because it is easy to get too thick paint that is too dark but once you get it, it's wonderful! "I gotta say I LOVE the melted crayon!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Great idea, thanks!

[@margaretprice4533]

Oh my! This takes me back! In my Girl Scout troop--maybe 3rd or 4th grade-- we drew with colored crayons on plain muslin bags. Then the leaders layered newsprint under and over the drawings and heat set our creations with a hot iron. It was so fun to see the end product and use the bag!

[@ShannonGreen]

I have a vague memory of doing something similar!!

[@Judylou09]

Shannon Green!!! You were one of the first KZbinrs I found probably 10 or so years ago who totally inspired me to have fun with art! Since then I fell down the rabbit hole of KZbin videos and different folks. I am so happy that I have found you again- feel like I have come full circle! Thank you for such creative ideas, presented in such a fun, easy to understand way!! I won’t lose track of you again!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Judy, you’re back! That’s okay, I took a KZbin hiatus for a while so you didn’t miss much!

[@rebeccaturner7097]

She was one of the first mixed media KZbin artists for me, too! Yes, at least ten years go, but seems more like twelve. I kept giggling today because it’s like being home with myself watching my own antics (for example): “It’s still liquid!” *brush loaded with paint* “Now why isn’t a palette right in front of me?” Also, I subscribe to Joie de Fie but didn’t see the inspirational video yet.

She cracks me up and just keeps it real!” So, I just watched this video and I loved your demo so much! You are wonderful and brought a smile to my face! I loved that you weren’t afraid to try whatever… and it made me laugh out loud many times! Thanks for inspiring me..and I’m glad I was compared to such a cool lady! 😃 “Why is there no palette right in front of me??? Oh, there it is!” 😂🤣 😂 I’ve now subscribed to your channel and Joie and I’m excited to learn from both of you. Looks like I’m late to the party!

[@buckeyehockey1979]

I do this as well and a flat plate iron is the best. I have never had any issues with it sticking to the iron, the heat melts it right off. I would agree, though, I wouldn't use it on clothes after, just in case. If you are worried about it, you can use some Parchment paper between the iron and wax.

This is an amazing technique! I love that you added color by melting crayons. Many thanks to you and Joie!

Shannon, I always find so much to agree with in your videos - outside the actual crafting knowledge. While I expect I am much older than you, I developed macular degeneration a few years ago and (whine, moan, cry) it's terrible to lose much of your vision. Affects all elements of life. Well, enough pity party. I forgot to order cupcakes (as I can no longer bake) so we'll just cancel the party. I, too, love Joie's videos and watched her waxing the paper video. I've done that before (with the beeswax pellets) but never thought to put another piece of paper on top to absorb the extra wax. So glad to catch you on this video. COVID is rearing its ugly mutated head again so take care, stay safe.

I love Joie's videos too. You cracked me up when you said with a bit of awe, that "she actually USES the things she makes! Well, sometimes that happens around here." I must say, I resemble that remark....the second part that is! LOL I was surprised at the water based paint on wax! You know, the whole lean over fat as a no no. Does it really dry and stay? How about just using an ink pad like Brilliance? I think that's the brand, my studio has been packed up and in storage. ☹️ Wonder about maybe rubbing some mica powder to hit the wrinkles before the wax? Walnut ink or crystals in the mix? I want to play! 😭

Personally, I liked the Birdie Darling before you put the foil on it, but it was beautiful afterwards too. But just in case the foil isn't enough the firs time, is it possible to glue foil onto wax or paper? Then spray a coating over it to adhere it? I'm trying to think of ways to place foil without the use of more wax. Thank you! Great video.

[@rebeccagable9629]

Maybe it would work to drop the gold leaf-type flakes onto the paper along with the bits of wax & iron them together...the flakes might stick better.

[@ShannonGreen]

I’m not sure why that didn’t cross my mind, I think you’re right!

[@ShannonGreen]

Yes I could have used a foiling glue but at this time I was more focused on experimenting with what the wax could and couldn’t do. Now that I have a better understanding, I can branch out with those embellishments. Thanks for watching and for the ideas!
