may theme: I Can't Resist!

I finished both my Sketchbook page and my journal quilt just in time.

You Can't Resist was a great theme for me: I am organizing a Soy Wax class with Melanie Testa and guess what? The title Melanie had chosen for the class is ... YES: You Can't Resist!

I had a package of the appropriate quality of soy wax at home in order to test it. Last week I spent two afternoons in my studio, happily creating with soy wax and thickened dyes. The blog post is not ready yet, but in the next couple of days I am going to upload photos on my personal blog.

Can't Resist This!
It was posted on 05/01/2011 by Judy Herwitt. Now the first thing that comes to my mind is ... chocolate !! <Sigh> But don't forget that you can use stuff to work as a resist ...
For more information, look here:
