I expect that it will become softer but not liquefy on a very hot summer day here in Australia. I too have images of the painting sliding off the board onto the wall like the clocks in Dali's painting 'The Persistence of Memory'. I'm confident that will not happen, and I will continue researching to make sure as the longevity of my images is a major concern for me. I think if another artist is doing it successfully and showing in galleries (including ones in New York) than it must be something that is viable and will last.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730848304553979781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564447779732476026.post-16080569074620272622011-02-28T13:50:16.701+10:002011-02-28T13:50:16.701+10:00Mmm..the beeswax looks fun to play with!

I was just thinking that because it's so hot today! hehe.<br /><br />I love the resin. The shinier the better I say! :)Jaz Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520189895352008763noreply@blogger.com
