On Wednesday I went to LB Crafts for a workshop with the lovely Lin to make a Printers Tray, wow what an experience that was. My first attempts with Beeswax and Utee using a Melt Pot.............to tell you the truth I was rubbish at it........My Beeswax layering was enough to make a Candle with. Far too much, but Lin saved me from ruining it completely. Utee and I got on not too badly and was very impressed with the Black Utee, so dramatic, loved that. I learn't such a lot, mainly by mistakes and now feel a bit more confident in using my Melt Pot (never been out of its box in a year). There was a bit of touching up here and there to do once I got it home..........before I dare show you it...........lol
Have a great weekend and hope you are having sunny weather. Take care, hugs Annette x

I was just thinking about getting one of those trays and was wishing I had some examples to see what others are doing with them. I love how yours turned out and really enjoyed reading about your adventures making it! ;-)

I love your shadow box! Isn't it true how much we learn from our mistakes. People who don't live life never make mistakes. Too bad.

Love your printers tray and it looks like it was great fun! I always love learning something new and even mishaps are usually worth the effort. If for nothing else, to never try it again. I used beeswax once and did not like it! Hope you had fun at the fair!

Stunning piece! I love printer's trays. I am working on this fab house shaped shadow box. Aren't they way too much fun?
LOVE THIS!! I wish I could find my printer's tray. I would love to do something like this. And I wish we had steam fairs here!!
What a fun project! One of these days I must try one of these printer's trays. I'm totally mystified by the whole beeswax thing. Wish we had workshops like that in my area. My melting pot sits here gathering dust. Sounds like you had a fabulous day yesterday!
Hugs,
