Home Decoration with Wax Sculptures & Candles

Wax Casting for Home Interior Decoration

Hello there, I would like to introduce you to some wall art made from wax. This was a commision piece which was made to order. The client wanted a piece which would compliment there decor and life style and since I had free reign to design whatever I wanted I decided that I was going to do something which was to do with the human form. From the beginning of time artists have alway used the female form as an object of desirable beauty, so I thought it would be fitting and dramatic to make something which would hang on the wall as a decorative piece.
The piece is actually in proportion to a real human body and has been designed to be hung on the wall or placed in a corner setting.
The hanging can be used as a talking piece and feature and I have it on good athourity that the moulding has been very well recieved by the owner and company.
You can mould anything out of wax as long as the mould used is non-porous so the wax can contract evenly without cracking.
Anything can be placed inside the wax in order to give it an interesting visual effect. Try pouring some melted wax into a baking tray with leaves, beads, pebbles or anything which you think may look good in your finished piece. When the wax is set you can buy a table picture stand or push two screws into the wax while it is still soft and when set tie some string round it then you can hang it up on the wall.
