New beeswax collage
The fish are color copies of 19th-century zoological illustrations (copyright free), which I altered in Photoshop to an indigo-and-white color scheme. First, change to Sepia (found on the Hue/Saturation menu). Then use the “Invert” command (on the Adjustments menu) to change to indigo. Saturation can be adjusted after that to your liking.)

Also, just for fun — here’s a scribble drawn on a tablet. I find scribbling so freeing, relaxing, and playful. Don’t do it often enough! It gets creative juices flowing.
More beeswax collage
I’m finding this to be a delightful medium to work with. The melted beeswax (I use a small crockpot) gives off a wonderful scent. The collage has a gentle glow and subtle depth and softness. The fish (copyright-free images) were printed on a color copier (inkjet prints do not work with this method).
