News — Encaustic Wax

I recently pulled out my Hotplate and tried a few techniques. I promised not to put any pressure on myself but have fun and just play. Have a look at how it went and what kind of material I used. It was quite liberating :-)                                            Step One: Have Fun                      Keep in mind your work surface is hot so be careful!                       ...
