Encaustic art for craft projects
An ancient art, encaustic art has seen a resurgence in popularity with the arts & craft world’s focus on mixed media.
This book makes it accessible to everyone, from rank beginners to arty crafters. Bringing it firmly into the realm of crafters, it shows you how to apply the coloured wax to anything from the usual glossy cardstock, to woodfree paper, canvas, glass and porcelain, as well as wood, candles and bisque wear. Several heat sources and applicators can work and Jann shows you how to use these creatively.
In addition to all the necessary information about tools, basic techniques, colour mixing, finishes and application possibilities, this books contains over 50 projects that will have you hooked in no time. Learn to make cards, paper stock for other paper craft projects, wall art, stamping with wax, wax mosaics, combining wax with other media and much more – but be warned: once you start, you won’t want to stop!
