A couple of weeks ago a group of us got together to play with beeswax!!! This was my first collage. The image of the couple is from Collagevisions - Digital Collage Sheets. I won several from a challenge a WinterHaven. On this piece I used mulberry paper, tissue paper, lace, flowers, die cut letters and a grunge board flourish. Everything on this is attached using the wax except for the rhinestones.
Below is a close-up. The wax intensified the colors of the flowers. You can see the lace in the wax. 
My second attempt at a beeswax collage. On this one I used tissue pattern pieces, printed napkins, lace, cheesecloth and added a flower on top of the collage. 
Below close-up of the cheesecloth
Before I left I waxed several pieces to use in later projects... napkin, Vogue pattern, page from a book, stamped mulberry paper and cheesecloth.
I had a blast playing in the wax... I need a melting pot!!!

So glad to see you posted your beeswax creations! Your enthusiasm was contagious, and your collages are wonderful. Love the experiments with cheesecloth, too.
Thanks for sharing these, Lyneen. I've never worked with beeswax before, but the effect looks fabulous
