Time for another mixed media/altered art challenge at Rhedd's Creative Spirit and I decided to use this month one of my favourite mediums, encaustic wax.
To create my collage I used a combination of bees wax, Panpastels, fiber paper, decitionary paper, lace, and some antique prescription paper from my collection.
To create my collage I added 5 layers of wax to my wooden board then layered my background papers, vintage photo and added colour with Panpastels. The background papers included some early 1800 prescriptions that I found in a antique store on holidays one year.
