Thank you so much for sharing this technique. I’m surprised by how far just those few wax pellets went! The piece with the calligraphy background is awesome!

[@JuanettesCraftingCorner]

Fantastic tutorial Sharon. I really appreciate it. I had forgotten about this technique. But it's the first time I heard of the fusing the papers together. Adding another dimension to our craft. I might use this technique for my new series QuickTip Thursday but I will make sure that I include your name as teaching me more about it.

[@SharonHoerth]

Thanks for watching Juanette! I’m glad you found it useful. I look forward to seeing what you do!🍯🕯️

[@medievallassie]

LOVED this!!! I have been wanting to do this for months but I just haven't cleaned off a big enough spot to work in. (long story, lol) I am headed out to the cottage to get my beeswax because the day has come, even if I don't have more than 1 foot square spot to work in! Thank you for your wonderful tutorials! (p.s. don't forget the printer one)

[@SharonHoerth]

Thanks Catherine! Yes, do it! lol (yes, the printers!) 🕯️🍯

[@MonaRogers]

Thank you for this tutorial. I gave it a try after you directed me to Jack’s video and it is fun!! Not sure yet what I am going to do with the stack I made. Got a little carried away.

Thank you for this tutorial. Did you also print the lady on 16 lb paper. Thx

[@SharonHoerth]

You are welcome Tina! I’m glad you found it useful. Yes, I used 16 lb. paper for all the images. 🌸🌸🌸

[@deannag8158]

Hi Sharon, thanks for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated. What do you do for clean up afterwards?

[@SharonHoerth]

Thanks so much for watching! There isn’t too much cleanup involved. I run my iron across some paper towel or a damp rag while it is still warm to clean the plate. As far as the mat goes, I just roll it up and store away. I leave any excess wax on the mat to be reused the next time. 🍯🕯️

[@llun5265]

Thanks for making this video, so great and helpful! on the other note, for long term storage (prints in a frame) is beewax the suitable for that condition? will it breakdown after some years? or Carnauba Wax better? I have no experience whatsoever so would like to seek your opinion. Thanks!!

[@SharonHoerth]

Thanks for watching! I don't have any experience with Carnauba wax. I think beeswax should have a pretty long-term life if not exposed to sun or moisture. I've only been using it a couple of years, but my guess is that eventually there may be some breakdown. 💕

[@SilverPennyArtisans]

So the wax doesn’t remelt with use or really warm weather?

[@SharonHoerth]

I haven’t experienced the wax remelting with regular use. I think it would have to get really warm to melt, similar to candle wax. I suppose if it was left out in the hot sun it would probably melt. Hope that helps. 🤗🌻

[@HighCountryStudio]

Thanks very much for this information. Do you know if the beeswax melts again or gets sticky in hot weather? I’m just wondering if a journal with a beeswax image would be a problem in a backpack on hike in the summer , for example.

[@SharonHoerth]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching! I think if the wax was in direct sunlight and got hot enough it would remelt. Think of a candle in your backpack. It would probably melt similar to that.🕯️🍯

[@HighCountryStudio]

Thank you! I’m still going to try it. Such a lovely effect.

[@suebraun1431]

Sharon, how do you store your waxed papers?

[@SharonHoerth]

Hi Sue. I usually make them as I need them, so I don't store many. If I do have an extra one here and there, I just store them with my other papers in folders or boxes. In my experience, the bees waxed papers really do not get sticky. 🌷🌷🌷

[@suebraun1431]

That's helpful--thanks Sharon. @@SharonHoerth
