Wax Resist As A Scrapbook Technique

You probably experimented with the technique of wax resist in elementary school. You take a clear or white crayon, draw a pattern, write words, create a background, and then color over the design element with acrylic paints, Lumiere, walnut ink, etc.

The wax will resist the paint and show through, resulting in a great design. Wax resist makes a creative background for children's artwork as well as children's scrapbooks. You can also use it effectively in many different themes - perhaps using the technique to create a fireworks display, a colorful background for a birthday party, a night sky... just use your imagination!
