Happy Artist life and Beeswax collage

Over at 6 degrees of Creativity there are a few workshops in progress, one beingoffered by Lani Gerrity on having a Happy Artist Life. I chose to do beeswax collage since I love the smell of the beeswax, love how you can change your mind easily (not like with glue where you get stuck with where you placed an image.) Since there was also a workshop on Beeswax collage I thought I would combine the two.

 Lesson 1 was to come up with a few things that made me happy today and create some art. I had been thinking what a great day it would be, it was supposed to snow last night but we never got a flake. This morning I acted as though we were snowed in though, I made waffles, slept late and made art all morning and spent the day with my family.
Unfortunatly with this type of collage I find it very hard to take a good picture, the beeswax seems to reflect any light in the room. The artwork itself is much more radiant than the photos. :)
