Wax Is In!

While hanging out at the local art store, I stumbled across the encaustic supplies... I was like "hmm... melting wax, pouring it over a canvas? Sounds perfect!"  This was my first attempt and it won't be my last! I like this process and the outcome creates exactly what I"m looking for right now!  What do you think?  Ever worked with wax before? 

Tape.
So the wax will dry within the edges 

Melt.
I recommend a salon style wax melting pot

 Pour!

Dry!

So it was supposed to go over the edges... guess I didn't have enough wax?  Plus, it dried SO fast!  That's ok, I kind of like the way it dried!  I'm still experimenting with this material...  more wax projects to come!

Thanks for stopping by!
