One in the Tiny Series of encaustics is on plaster and board. The original size is 4 x 4. Plaster was laid down and embedded with stars, hearts, and a number. After it dried, it was covered with an encaustic beeswax and resin mixture, both clear and colored.

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.
