Waxed Papers with Lillian - November

Lillian led the day with a technique using wax crayons, acrylic inks and Markal oil sticks

Everyone eagerly set to work

Thank you ladies for your company today. A pleasure as always

You are now saving your teabag papers and dyeing your fabric with tea or coffee and baking in the oven (very carefully), in preparation for our December meeting
