AWESOME and outstanding Ruth such pretty tiles, will you add them to a larger board and hang them up somewhere???
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to take a class with the wonderful Suze Weinberg where we made large projects using beeswax and paper and beads and chipboard. We did get the opportunity to make a 2 x 2 inch canvas at the end but encaustic was never mentioned. It was all about the Melt Pot.
One thing to mention was Suze put the beeswax in the project pan not the actual pot as it was too high a heat for the beeswax and it meant that you lost a lot of the wax when you cleaned it out so a project pan is the best way to melt beeswax. Not sure if you knew this or not, hope you don't mind me mentioning.
I have loads of 2 inch square Stampboard pieces from a project that didn't get completed and yes i don't use it often enough lol.
So glad you have found a new area of mixed media to play with. I found a place in Stockport that sells beeswax, it is a bookbinders paradise and i hope to visit very soon.
Looking forward to more encaustic from you :-) xxx
Hi Mo, Hels gave the same advice re spare pan, good point! Thanks for the lovely comment too. Ruth x

ReplyDeleteHi Ruth been over for a look, great project and thanks for the tutorial, so kind.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering what you might do with the finished samples, they would be a great focal point on a card maybe.
Happy crafting, Angela x
I thought I had already commented over on the main project post but now think I must have popped over while using my phone and it wouldn't let me comment. Never mind, I've commented now on both ;-). Wonderful Stampbord tiles and tutorial Ruth. I'm itching to give the old Melt Pot an airing now as I'd never thought of using the wax on Stampbord.
