encaustic class

for this months class i was still in the recycle mode

going through my studio to find unfinished canvases

i found plenty that needed to be completed or scrapped down and reused

the above canvas had layers of texture

once i hit it with the iron i soon realized what was hidden beneath

a collage of old maps and book pages

this inspired me to dig through my stash of found objects, metal and embellishments
