Once I got the right "feel" then they really came together. I did a bunch in one go and then worked on embellishing them later one, and added more neutrals (black, greys, white) in the second batch. There was a lot to do to each one even after the first layers, I take each piece and get started working on the wax texture and decide what it needs as I go. Sometimes I have to look at a set of them to decide what else to do next. I did have some geometric themes, and also the lettering and numbers as some of the ideas I wanted to apply. And creating texture and patterns with different colors of wax was interesting too, working to get things lined up (or not !). A lot goes into working each piece and I must say, I enjoy polishing them too, they look really good polished up !Kim Valois Mathiesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418953851327347692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590761517181238385.post-54183755167449983492009-05-19T09:58:00.000+10:002009-05-19T09:58:00.000+10:00Wow Kim - I know you explained how you do these en...Wow Kim - I know you explained how you do these encaustics but... how on earth do you make them so outstanding!
