My project for this challenge is a Encaustic Collage canvas.
I used a portions of a collage style napkin that I found in a kitchen shop for my bases of my collage.
Some closer views
I used distress inks and PanPastels to colour the base if the wooden canvas.
I layered my napkin pieces between several layers of bees wax.
I added some stamped writing and butterflies from another napkin.
I coloured some die cut leaves with distress inks and dipped them in wax before adding them.
To complete the canvas I added some wooden findings and brown and greens oil paint along the edges of the canvas.
I love using encaustic wax . The texture and colours inspire me.
Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to pop over to our challenge board to be inspired by our creative design team.

Wow, what an amazing! I love how you layered everything together and the bees wax finishes it perfectly - so beautiful 😁. Thanks for the inspiration and Happy August! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteA fabulous canvas Judy. Lovely warm colours, gorgeous artwork and wonderful details all embedded in the silky wax xx
ReplyDeleteJudy this is fantastic, wonderful and rich in colour. A very pretty display of those encaustic layers. I've not played with wax for such a long time such a relaxing way to craft.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work.
Hugs Tracey x
I'm always impressed by encaustic, the result is fabulous, every detail in place.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I didn’t know anything about encaustic but I do now. I love the intense deep color. The layer part between wax layers sounds really fascinating. I’m going to have to YouTube and see how this process works. Great project.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular in colour and style Judy. Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy this is amazing, love it too bits and great use of the technique. Sorry I've not been around much, I must make more effort to pop over to see you. I didn't realise you were with Creative Artiste. Not been doing anything with teams recently, don't think they like my style maybe. Lots of creating though.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely creative weekend. Hugs, Angela xXx
