I have been incorporatingencaucstic work with card blog challenges for a couple of weeks and the following are a selection of cards from those challenges:-
Every piece of encaustic work is completely individual, I have found scanning the work onto the p.c. and then printing it off onto plain white card works really . It is also a way of getting just the right backing paper for a project.
With these two cards I played with glitter and embossing powders directly onto the waxed backing paper. The glitter seemed to work really well and gave the whole thing a real mystical appearance, the embossing powder was not so successful.
Last month, while visiting Barnstaple, I discovered a lady doing encaustic pictures.
I was so impressed with her art work that I wanted to try it for myself and try to incorporate it with my card making. I think I am doing this quite successfully but am loathe to sell the cards once I have completed them, so I have set up this blog as a way of sharing my work with anyone who is interested and as an archive for all the encaustic work I do.
