The Wonders Of Wax!!

I love working with wax!  It is the most amazing stuff.  You can make it completely liquid and work with it that way.  You can make it solid, yet warm - and it is moldable to what you wish to make.  That is the most intriquing thing for me.  It has three stages - liquid, firm yet maleable, and hard.  The firm yet maleable is great!  You can mold this bit of wax into what you want.  Forget trying to do it when it's solid and hard, tho.  It will just break.  And you also have to get it at just the right temperature to mold it because to warm and it's still too much of a liquid.  Of course, too cold, and it's hard as rock and will only break.  There seems to be quite a science to it, which I love!
