Here is a wax tip from @waxcarvers - “Wax sheet is so soft and thin you can just use scissors to cut it into shape. And to add some fun to your edges, you can use decorative scissors! Sheet in the video is .8mm but it works on thicker sheet as well.” love this! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us! I’m going to put a link in my profile for Sandy’s online classes in wax carving. I’ve taken her Faceted Gemstone Bezel Settings and it was awesome!! #waxcarving #lostwaxcarving
