If You Give a Child Some Cheese Wax . . .

Posted in Art & Music

Recently mother-in-law bought the children some little cheeses as a special treat. Who knew it would lead to a new hobby for my 12 year old son! Here are some examples of the wax modeling he has done.

The neatest thing about this medium is that he can rework his creations to make a new masterpiece . . .

WOW!!! I never thought about using them this way! (or any way!) Is he using a mold? or doing this by hand? Either way, I love them!

Dana, he is doing it by hand. He is very interested in animals and has studied them extensively, which I think helps. I am amazed by what he comes up with. I certainly couldn't make anything that looked like that. :-)
