Hi Nadine,

Thank you for your great compliment :)

Very nice, Carla! Your video was a bit like meditating :-). I have seen people on YouTube use the really small "irons" used by quilters for smaller details. I have also seen people use small amounts of wax crayons..like kids use in coloring books..but I think you would have to experiment with using large amounts of it because the formulas are very different and it might have a tendency to crack and flake off. Let us know if you try it. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, you can buy little irons for special use with wax, here in Holland too, and you can buy a special 'hot pencil' with all kind of tools. But that's expensive (if you not sure You are gonna use it a lot), I'm not rich, and I already had an old iron :)

I don't think it will flake off my little canvas, because it isn't that thick you know. If I do more with wax I'll show!

Yes, you can use a little quilting iron for spreading the wax.
