We also decided to try a new method and started to experiment with melting the wax. We melted tea lights over a metal tube to see how the wax would flow and move naturally.

Today we experimented by pouring more wax over an existing model. This created a cave like space. We will try to explore this method more in the next session and include it in our final model.

Here is a photograph of one of the wax sculptures made from pouring the wax into the water. Using this method the wax takes a more natural form compared to the other methods.

Today we experimented with the method of pouring the wax into water. This gave different end products depending on the temperature, speed, and amount of wax poured into the water.

Today we started to think about the designs of our wax sculptures. We have decided to hang our different wax forms using wire.
