Key points from wax wrap class :
pinking shears
silicon sauce brush ( we used spong brushes)
cotton squares (I make mine in various sizes, 12 x12 in, 10 x 10 in, 8 x 8 in)
cookie sheet
saucepan
beeswax ( we used natural beeswax which does alter the fabric color- you can use the bleached beeswax beads) 1 oz per batch
jojoba oil - 1 TBS
pine resin (powdered) 2 TBS
drying rack
newspaper
parchment paper

1. go around the edge of your fabric with pinking shears to prevent fraying.
2. powder the pine resin so it dissolves and you do not have clump
3. Let them dry overnight then "Finish" them by putting them on a parchment lined cookie sheet in the oven at 250 degrees for about 15 minutes

You can use the beeswax wraps to store foods such as fruit, vegetables, cheese, or lunch meats in sandwiches, however, avoid using them with raw meat.

If you want your beeswax wraps to last a few months, you’ll need to wash them carefully. To wash, simply rinse in cold water (beeswax melts) and use mild soap only when needed.

The wax will eventually fade and become less self-adhesive. You might need to rewax them. To re-wax them, sometimes I just place the wraps on a cookie sheet and sprinkle a bit of shaved beeswax or beeswax pellets. I pop it in the oven at 250 degrees for a few minutes.

Sometimes, I give my wraps a quick refresh. I stack all my wraps on a cookie sheet lined with parchment. I preheat the oven to 250 degrees, and pop the stack in the oven, keeping a close eye. The wax melts and redistributes throughout your wraps as it melts. You can rotate your cotton squares if the top ones aren’t getting good coverage.

Simply separate them while the wax is still melted and allow them to dry separately before re-using.

Fairy Tales/Tarot Tales/and Star Stories
We had our first class last Tuesday. I think this has been my favorite of Tom's series so far. We did not have class this week, Tom and Michele had an event yesterday that they had committed too. Anyway, We read " Little Red Cap" and discussed the symbology and hidden meanings. We discussed Vladimir Yakovlevvich Propp and "The Structure of Fairy Tales or Wonder Tales" Then we drew Tarot Cards and used them to create our own Fairy Tales. I felt Like I was taking a college course with a magical twist. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next week
