Be amazed by small things...

Sometimes we just need to be amazed by the small things.
Just what I needed to hear today. Art is therapy. Not only did it feel good to make this little collage, but I had also some 'aromatherapy' because I used beeswax to finish it. I love the smell of beeswax. I also love to touch it, to watch it drip on a piece, to see how different papers become translucent in different ways, to see the slightly muted colors... I guess I love everything about it. That's why I couldn't stop. I found a canvas that I didn't like and just started beeswaxing different things to it. I'll try to take pictures tomorrow.

    I've never worked with beeswax but you make it sound very appealing. The quote you used is just right for that picture.

    Isn't beeswax lovely to work with? I often use it to make background and love the smell. And it is such a tactile experience too!

    P.S I agree with Janet. That is the perfect quote for that picture.
