Encaustic paintings



Besides making dolls, I like to paint with different mediums. These 4 x 6 cards were painted with wax and an iron. Encaustic art paintings are made using a hot iron to melt colored beeswax onto the base which is then applied to the non-absorbant surface, creating beautiful abstract and fantasy art. These will go up on ebay in Mid-April.
