Description
An encouraging message for anyone, this is an encaustic collage on 300 lb. watercolor paper. The base of the design is handmade paper which includes grass cuttings and flower petals, and then tissue designs and words on top. Overall is the beeswax and resin mixture, giving it a warm glow. Would look lovely framed or as a boxed set of cards.
Encaustic comes from the Greek word "enkaustikos" which means "to burn (in)" and is an ancient form of art. Each melted wax layer is mixed with resin for strength and body. An encaustic art piece is made up of many layers and uses clear wax or natural wax (which has a warm yellow tint) and wax paint which also includes resin.. Special brushes are needed. The surface of the finished piece is either smooth or textured.
