Wild Flowers in Wax



The wax is still warm in this shot and the rice paper buckled something fierce!


The wax has cooled buy isn't quite hard yet, the colors are darker and richer, the texture of the buckled paper worked for me this time.

    Hi Cobi

    I just fused my base layer to the board and then started adding, and fusing, layers of color and then added some paper, added more encaustic wax, and fused.

    I finished by adding the stamp, and more wax. The surface is still highly textured due to the rice paper buckling but now I like the look.
