Encaustic Flower Collage

Once again Michelle shows you a project where you get to melt stuff! This time we will melt wax. Using some very basic materials and techniques, Michelle shows you how to make two wax collages featuring flowers. To follow along with this show, gather these supplies:

  • Encaustic wax in clear a white colors
  • Brush to use just for wax - not synthetic
  • Heat source to melt wax
  • Heat gun
  • Substrate - I used wood squares
  • Oil paint
  • Various scraps of scrapbook paper
  • Paper towels
  • Linseed oil
  • Scissors
  • Carving tool - I used a bamboo skewer
Are you interested in the book I mentioned? Check out my bookstore for that book as well as all the others I have discussed in my shows. Visit my online store where you will find some wax art materials.

 

 

Visit Daniel Smith for other encaustic supplies as well as brushes and oil paint. I love the variety of materials they offer! Oh, and if you want to find the magazines I showed you, check out Cloth Paper Scissors and Somerset Studio.
