Beeswax piece...evolving
This is the piece that I started working on weeks ago with beeswax. It needed more but I just didn't know what to do. I had downloaded a digital copy of an Encaustic Workshop DVD from Cloth Paper Scissors a while back and decided to watch it again in the hopes that it may give me some ideas. It worked! I saw the artist in the video using stamps and ink on her wax layers! So...I grabbed my black Staz-On pad and some "glyph-ish" stamps and went to town. How would I add color, though? It would be very hard to try and squish oil pastels into all the little spaces and the markers I have are all water-based (I think.) I decided to try painting on alcohol inks with teeny little brushes. It worked! Here are some pics of the piece as I worked at it...
