For my Bridge 3 project, I wanted to use a type of meltable wax and clay for two of the main materials. I had never worked with any type of wax before so I decided to focus the investigation on that material. I was hoping to achieve a drip look with the wax and use the clay to easily sculpt a similar-looking melting shape.

Beeswax and polymer clay investigation

I think for my Bridge 3 project I will use beeswax and another type of wax that is cheaper. I think that beeswax is an interesting material to work with but it is not very achievable because of how expensive it is. I think I will also use the polymer clay as a sort of base for the wax to drip on. I also need to find a material to encase the final drippings of the wax so it is not too soft- possibly resin.
