| Dartmoor beeswax melted and poured into willow and rush woven ring |
| Melting and pouring beeswax is an unpredictable procedure. Every hole and crack has to be plugged with soften beeswax to prevent melted wax escaping. Not pouring enough melted wax creates a very uneven sheet, having enough wax means it can be quickly moved and spread but pouring flat produces best results. I used a blowtorch to even out under surface of wax when cooled, however rush is very flammable! When held up to the light, the rush weave can be seen silhouetted through the wax. |
