On my online workbook this week: Freeze… just for a moment!

Dear

This week's inspiration is that in between days where you are ready for the Christmas sparkly feeling but not yet ready to let go of autumn.

My tip for you this week is to give the display container a final clean just before staging. But don't try to just wipe it with a cloth. Bits of the wax will inevitably break off at some stage and these tiny wax pieces cause streaks and get stuck everywhere on the glass, spoiling the whole display. Before you place the armature on your display container, wipe your glass container with a Wet Wipe (or Wet Ones) to clean off those last few bits of wax from the glass. It works so well! It lifts off all the debris. Also… and ask me how I know this… If your phone is now full of tiny white wax speckles, wipe it with a Wet Wipe. It is clean again in no time.

Enjoy!

Every good wish,

Christine

ps: pumpkin spice is an aromatic blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger… sometimes with a bit of allspice if you were also wondering.
