How to melt wax crayons. Encaustic - drawing with an iron, master class for beginners

Share your experience, if there is one: how long you could go without face cream, and how many years you decided to apply it. At the same time, do you think the skin is worse / better or on a par with those who have been using creams for a long time and constantly?
Why am I asking? But I don’t have this cream. For hands only. And I just wash my face with water. No soap. And I don't use tonics.
So I want to know the opinion and experience of people like me. Happy New Year everyone!

Hello everyone. I was always amazed at spoiled teenagers who scandal with their parents over an iPhone of that color, but this story happened to me: This year my husband and I had a lot of spending: buying a house, furniture, renovating a kitchen, having a child ... In general, I did not count on a New Year's gift, although I stuttered several times that I wanted a new iPhone 11 pro. Well, yes, yesterday I found the same phone under the Christmas tree, but ... in gold, and I really wanted Midnight Green, which is fashionable this season. In theory, it can be changed to green, but I'm afraid of offending my husband and seem ungrateful. What should I do?

I decided to write here because it is very annoying, but I don’t know what to do and how to react. Thanks a lot in advance for the advice.
I have an 11-year-old daughter, and my colleague has a 13-year-old daughter. For a very long time she could not get pregnant from her husband, divorced and gave birth from a random man who sometimes helps them. I gave birth in marriage, then my husband went to another.
A colleague all the time talks about her daughter in a superlative degree. That she knows English perfectly and speaks with a British accent, even the English teacher is amazed at her innate abilities. She has been dancing since she was five years old and in the dance circle she is always put on the first part or solo dance. She swims like a little mermaid, holding her breath for six minutes. Rides like a real rider. All the boys in the class run after her in herds, the girls line up to sit with her at the same desk. And, well, what a beauty is by itself. The photo does not show that we, the envious aunts, do not jinx her.

And so my sister transferred her son to the class where this girl is studying. After a while, we accidentally talked about her, and it turned out that this girl is very timid, stutters with excitement when teachers or classmates speak to her. She is tall and plump, she has very thick legs and a long, slightly horse-like face with a heavy lower jaw, she is terribly awkward, she walks waddle. She does not go to the pool with the class at all, she is allergic to bleach. She studies so-so, because of shyness, she often does not answer, even if she knows the topic, and those teachers who do not regret it, often put three's. In general, she studies between 3 and 4. No one of the boys runs after her, but on the contrary, teases and laughs at her. And the girls do not want to take her into their company, they snort. She sits alone, she never participates in any class activities, the very last one always resorts to physical education.

And now, when at work my colleague starts telling tales about her daughter, I always want to react somehow, but I don’t know how. If she just talked, otherwise she always speaks as if against the rest. Someone says, "I completely got out of my hands, does not do my homework, walks, does not drag home," she immediately: "and my clever girl does all her homework as soon as she comes home from school, then she studies English on Skype for two hours, then cooks for to my the arrival of the soup, vacuuming, stitching, then at her leisure she sews aprons, potholders and hemming curtains. " they put six in her diary with delight. And so always. I would like to somehow let her understand that I know how things really are with her daughter, but I don’t want it to look like I’m out of envy I do it.

What would you do?

Happy New Year to members of the forum! Interested in the opinion of those who gave birth in the Lyubertsy maternity hospital. What are the pros and cons. Are the pros (or cons) of paid childbirth obvious in this RD? I understand that reviews can be very subjective. Therefore, if it's not difficult, what exactly did I like and what I didn't. All health, kindness and love!

Actually what is the problem. As far as I know, in such cases, some kind of payment is due. Insurance or something similar. How do I get it? What is required for this? It is clear that the leadership can resist, it is his own fault, they say, and all that. Is there a chance to achieve anything?

Kids love to draw with wax crayons, which often break. You can save up these short pencils in the hope that the child will draw them. But usually children draw with new ones, and these pieces can accumulate, because throwing them away every time is too wasteful.

These colored wax pencils have wonderful uses. They can be melted and painted with liquid bright wax, or they can be melted into new ones.

YOU WILL NEED: broken wax crayons, silicone ice or baking molds, the cheapest or oldest paintbrushes, paper or canvas, dropper, oven or microwave, long sleeved clothing (ideally protective clothing for painting).

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn the oven to 200 degrees and move on to the next step. Or skip it if you opted for a microwave.

2. Peel the crayons from the wrapping paper and sort by color. Can be performed together with a child.

Cut the crayons into 1/2-inch pieces to melt them faster. Lay out each color in a separate shape.

3. Melt the crayons in a preheated oven. Estimated time 5 minutes. Depends on the original hardness and size of the fragments.

You can also melt the crayons in the microwave on medium power (450) in 2 to 2.5 minutes.

4. Carefully take out the molds with melted crayons. After a couple of minutes, you can paint when the silicone mold has cooled down a little! Warn your child in advance not to touch the hot molds.

5. Now we use liquid crayons as paints. You can use a brush or eyedropper for this. The drawing will take 10-15 minutes, then the wax will begin to harden.

6. Dry the paintings. It may take up to 30 minutes. If you drew on paper, the wax will chunk off over time, leaving a lighter pattern underneath. To preserve your drawing for a long time, choose a canvas or any suitable fabric.

Advice:when the wax has cooled and begins to harden, place the molds in the freezer for 10 minutes until completely solidified. As a result, you will have new drawing crayons! How happy your child will be with new wax crayons, and even unusual shapes. After all, it can be hearts, and fish, and leaves, and cars, etc.

IMPORTANT! Do not use these silicone molds for cooking afterwards.

We wish you a pleasant joint creativity!

You can use a glass cup as a candlestick. A wick is a must for a candle!

Glue the wick to the glass, preferably in the middle.

Place the remaining wax from old candles in a plastic cup. Heat the wax in the microwave.

Cut the wax crayons into pieces and add them to the melted wax.

Place the candlestick at an angle so that it is convenient to pour the melted wax into it.

Melt the crayons and wax thoroughly in the microwave, pour the liquid mass into the candlestick. Let it freeze for 20 minutes.

Now turn the glass to the other side and pour another colored layer of wax into the candlestick. Also let it freeze.

Gently pour the last layer on top, let the candle dry well.

Progress

Prepare the wick. Usually it is sold with a ready-made base, but if you do not want to buy, then do it yourself. Place a small piece of paraffin in a paper cup and melt in the microwave (if there is no microwave, just hold the paraffin in a water bath). Make a small hole in the piece of glass or metal and stretch the wick through it. Place the resulting structure in a glass beaker and fill it with the prepared paraffin.

Cut the crayons of the desired color into small pieces.

Place the paraffin wax and crayons in paper cups. Melt everything in the microwave. Mix the contents of the glasses thoroughly until smooth. Add essential oil. Pour the mass of the desired color into a glass with a wick. You can tilt the container to get the shape you want.

Wait until the first color hardens and pour in a lot of a different color. Do this with each color until you get a full sized candle. You can make each layer with a different flavor.

If you add essential oils to the mixture, try making candles with the smell of Christmas tree and tangerine before the New Year holidays. You can also decorate a glass cup with coffee beans, shells or beads, the main thing is not plastic.
