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 bark and fused with a torch.
The tree is textured on this piece. This is created on birch bark so it does not lay flush against the wall. This piece is irregularly shaped and measures approximately 18.5 inches tall by 19.75 inches wide. It can come out up to 4 inches away from the wall in some areas. It has a saw tooth hanger attached to the back.
The bark used in this piece was salvaged locally from a fallen tree. The birch bark 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.
