Third time is a charm! (Copy)

I coated the wood surface with metallic paint/stain for extra shiny goodness. Little did I know that the wax was not super friendly with that. Another encaustic learning experience.

Then I used iridescent gold encaustic paint.

Here’s the first film transfer, checking it out how it will look.

“Testing” how it will look with the text element over the top.

Transfer complete. Because the encaustic surface isn’t porous the transfer can be very delicate. In this case it only enhanced the overall look of the piece.

The text transfer was very touchy. Big bits peeled right off when I was lifting the film. Luckily I had anticipated this, and planned on another layer.

Mostly successful. I learned a lot! It definitely has a political poster feel to it. Sara liked it, which is really what counts. Special thanks to Bonny Lhotka at DASS. An accomplished artist in her own right, she answered all my questions and off
