This encaustic wall art is unique and earth friendly! Encaustic is a wax-based paint made of beeswax, resin, and pigment. It is applied while in a molten state onto the wood and fused with a torch.
The background of this piece is smooth and the abstract flowers are textured. The wood substrate has some lichen still on the bark and a wood knot at the base of the piece. This piece of wood is irregularly shaped and measures approximately 8 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 3/8 inch deep. Sawtooth hanger on back for easy hanging.
The wood used in this piece was salvaged from a local wood turner. The wood substrate has been reinforced with wood glue which creates a glossy finish on the bark.
Care of encaustic art:
Gently wipe every 3 months with a soft cotton cloth to dust and restore shine. Do not place in direct sunlight or store in extremely hot (hot car) or cold temperatures (garage in winter). Do not place it outside.
