more waxing
Two more encaustic pieces, 8x8".
These turned out oddly much warmer in tone than the last two. The only thing I did different (I think anyway) was melting the encaustic medium in a different container. And the medium is a bit thicker although I put on fewer layers. I guess I wanted to try encaustics to introduce a bit more unpredictability into my work so...success :)
I like that using the TAP transfer paper in and on the wax instead of on paper is that the transfers tend not to dominate the piece so much. The photos I included in these pieces would have ironed on about 5 times darker than they look here.
