encaustic class

this weeks class was great!

things just went my way

i was inspired by a painting i saw on the weekend

and decided to do something similar in wax

it came out better than expected

last week i made this background with gold leaf, wax

and then crackled it with shellac and a blow torch

i was struggling with what to do with it and

with the help of my class mate, ludgera,

i finished it off with a photo transfer of a picture

from the distillery district

some upholstery tacks, an old key and metal strip

i'm happy with the results

thanks ludgera for all your help

and inspiration

it's wonderful having you in the class!
