"waterfall dance" was one of 12 images in the small range of greetings cards printed in 1991. the sky was created first of all, using the iron . this was then worked over with the landscape area as far as the top of the waterfall. the stream was formed by rubbing with tissue. as the friction builds heat the wax softens and starts to rub off, leaving lighter areas. next clear wax medium was used with the iron to mix into & clean the area where the waterfall would be created. then with swift light downward strokes of the iron, using the straight top edge of the base plate as the top of the waterfall, the streaming wax was carefully worked over until the desired effect appeared after one complete stroke movement. it can take time to learn this light touch! once formed this area is not touched again with the iron, but the "framing" sides are added with the iron, carefully dabbing & sliding until all is good. the details of flowers, dragonflies & and so on were added last using the low heat stylus tool.
