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.

Encaustic Wax Vintage Collage

It is time for another challenge over at Creative Artiste.  As always our theme is Anything Goes Mixed Media.

This month I pulled out my Encaustic Waxes to create my vintage collage. I used an assortment of vintage papers for my collage including sewing papers, mulberry paper and a vintage bag. I also used Pan Pastels and oil paint on the collage.  The image is from a Tim Holtz collection of vintage photographs. 

To complete the project I added roses that I dipped in the wax. 

More views of the project.

Encaustic Wax Butterfly Canvas

Time for a new challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and the theme is butterflies.  Who does not like butterflies.

I decided instead of a card I would make a canvas in the theme of butterflies with Encaustic Wax.  It had been a while since I have had my bee wax out and it was fun to create with it. 

I used layers of wax , Tim Holtz  tissue paper, some coloured wax,  and Panpastels to create the background design.  I then used a couple of butterflies from a napkins to create the design along with some brown oil paint to add some edging.  

Some closer views

Encaustic Collage - Flowers for Pretty Lady

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.

Encaustic Wax Mixed Media Board

Time for another Anything Goes challenge at Altered Eclectics.  This month I decided to get out my Encaustic waxed and create a mixed media board with them.  The background of the board was done with several colours of wax which the blue and silver sections were mixed with small glass beads.  I used masking tape to divide the layers. 

Once I had my basic design I added a few findings.  The star fish were from a dollar store and I coloured them with alcohol inks.  The small beads were from my stash and the shell was made using a shell mold and thick embossing powder. I coloured the shell also with alcohol ink and then added a little glitter. All the findings were glued down with wax. Once the wax was total set I buffed the piece with an old nylon to bring out the shine. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  Remember to stop by the Altered Eclectics challenge board to see the beautiful creations of all the design team members.
