Working with this method was truly interesting along with challenging. Developing work while using the encaustic technique opens endless possibilities in journaling and collage along with some limitations. Here are some of my results from that workshop.
Digital on melted tyvek, dyed burlap, metal screen, encaustic
Dyed cheesecloth and burlap, print on heat distressed lutradur, print on paper, twigs, copper wire
Crocheted waxed linen, crocheted hemp, printed tyvek, crocheted wire, encaustic
Dyed cheesecloth, dyed burlap, metal screen, twigs, printed paper, copper wire, encaustic

These are really great! I'd love to know their dimensions. Are they 6"x6" or two feet x two feet?
ReplyDeleteThe small ones are 3" x 5" and the larger one that has gold in the background is 8" x 10". I will be working with this again as soon as I get my wax colors:)
ReplyDeleteEncaustics have always intrigued me but the thought of gearing up with yet more supplies and equipment is a bit daunting! Looking at your work gives me all the more reason to give it a try...but still...it will have to wait until another day. Really like how you have used this medium!!
ReplyDeleteHey Dave, It really is interesting working with the encaustics. I am set up with a bare minimum set, but still need to get the heat tray to melt the wax. I keep forgetting. I have some ideas about this. Just have to be careful of what I use as a base since the wax cracks. When I get it together I will post some more and put some pics on the flickr group:)
