Just a little break in the gift showing- as I wanted you to see
my last two pieces, made after visiting my friend PATTY... not on her blog but on her Facebook page,
where she showed some fantastic boxes she had "grilled" to alter -and after
that adhered different layers with beeswax!!!
The link takes you to the "GRILLING" :-)
This first piece is made from a piece of handmade paper, where I used
some of my favorite materials-like the driftwood,seaweed and a fearther-
all layered with wonderful birds nest paper,and fabrics.
And after that I used beeswax, as dear Patty had also used on her boxes.
Cas you see the soft look it creates on the birds wing , the papers,and the
driftwood piece...I just love it!
As I don`t have a grill outside in wintertime, and as you, if playing with boxes in fire,
need to take care of the eventual fumes from the paint,- burning...I throw this box into my
owen in my shop and working room, (not using my heating tool inside,for this----)
closed firmly,- and let it there for some hours.The result
was a beautiful altered box ready for decorating.
Also here I enjoyed the wax on top of papers,flower,and fabric, and
used a plaster angel and old thread with its label still attatched!
It was wonderful playing with these pieces -the first ones after christmas!
Now from tomorrow I can look forward to a whole week together
with my dear Mathilde, whom is visiting us- she hope to play in
the snow, with us, and make long tours on the beach,-so no doupt there
will be a grandma, very tired every evening! meaning
not that many visits with my blogging friends....
So I wish you all a wonderful week ahead, and sends
Love and hugs -
See you in 8 dayes again :-)

Oh My Goodness this is a sensational beeswax collage with a delicate appearance and shows the fragility of nature. Beautiful and translucent the layers of beeswax.
It is ages since I fired up my melt pot to use beeswax, you have inspired me.
A beautiful post!

Beautiful work, Dorthe!
I love using bees wax... so much fun.
Dear Dorthe your new creations are both so beautifully made, hyggeligt at se dine fine nye collager med bivoks, her har sneen væltet ned hele dagen, så det er blevet til noget mere oprydning, vi snakkes ved.

Dear Dorthe, I just LOVE these pieces!!!! I've heard of that grilling of the tin boxes before too!

I hope you enjoy your visit with your sweet family, I know you will!!! hugs and love, Dawn

Обичам колажи със смесена техника от естествени материяли, сякаш са откъснати от природата. Винаги се изумявам от комбинациите и креативните ти решения Дороти.
Поздрави и успешна седмица от мен.
Originales y bellos. Un saludo
this is such a stunning piece Dorthe. I love every detail. I have yet to play with beeswax - hope to one day but may have to go to Denmark to do so! ;)
We saw on tv the other night that Copenhagen is the "happiest city" in the world. I know you don't live there - but it is part of your country! :)
Dear Dorthe, both of your works are gorgeous. The beewax gives such a beautiful soft look.
Have a wonderful happy time with Mathilda!
Hugs, Wendy
dear dorhte
this is stunning work and i like the touch of beeswax.
your work is always exclusive and a joy to see.
hugs from ann
Wow, Dorothe, these are absolutely beautiful! You have done a wonderful job... it must smell wonderful too; I love the smell of beeswax!
Hello my dear Dorthe
What beautiful artwork here - just love your little nature collage - it is so delicate and so beautifully arranged on the handmade paper with all the special touches that nature provides and it so wonderful that you are using them like this here.
The beeswax tin is gorgeous too - an angelic creation by your hands.
Hope you are having the best time with your special girl with special moments shared that will last on and on after she returns.
With warm love and hugs - keep snuggled up together after building snowmen as we sizzle over here!

Beautiful work, enjoy your Grandbabies, many Hugs,
Marilou
Das ist eine wunderschöne Collage meine Liebe!
Viel Spaß mit Mathilda :)
Hugs Alexandra
I have some encaustic beeswax and shellac mixture...and I find it very messy to work with although it does give a beautiful look...I may try what you have done here with only the beeswax. Your collage with the thread is a beauty! Enjoy your sweet girlie!
Deb
this looks very interesting. I will find out how it is done from the blog.
Your collage is beautiful. I love everything with birds anyway, and this beeswax procedure gives it even more character.
I am always amazed by you, always trying new things. Makes me feel like a stick in the mud, not going anywhere.
Have fun with Mathilde.
Warm hugs,
Evi
Dorthe, I love this. The beeswax softens everything just as you said and it all looks so very pretty.
What a wonderful idea!
What artistry! I love the mixed media - all so creative!
Hvor er de supersmukke!
God weekend.
Gorgeous work as always Dorthe...Such a pretty look on everything....You have a great time with your guest...HOpe you are all well!
Hearts to you,
Betsy
Oh my goodness, Dorthe, the bird collage is so beautiful! I love the wax technique you have used, one day I really must try it out myself. The second piece of art is really gorgeous as well. You have such a wonderful talent, my dear. xx
I wish you happy grandma time. Thanks so much for your lovely visit the other day. I have been slacking in the blog dept these days.
big hugs
Carole
Hi Dear Dorthe, What a beautiful technique to create these gorgeous pieces. You always do an amazing job with your designs. Your bird collage is simply grand. I have seen this artform many years ago, but have not tried it myself. It is very interesting.
Thank you for sharing and thank you for stopping by and your kind comment.
Have a wonderful winter day. Stay warm.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Hi Dorthe, ravishing work adore them both, such exquisite workmanship. xx
Dorthe,
I love these! You have made me get my wax pot out and play:)
Lisa
Dorthe. these are both truly exquisite.
May I just say what a comfort to find someone that genuinely understands what they are
discussing on the net. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
A lot more people should look at this and understand this side of your
story. I can't believe you're not more popular since you most certainly have
the gift.
