CUSTOM PHOTO ART (ENCAUSTIC WAX FINISH)
These custom pieces are similar to the matte style (top of page), but instead are coated with layers of encaustic medium, a combination of beeswax and damar resin. Each piece is unique because of variations in brush strokes, wax density and translucence. These encaustic wax pieces are really special and give a beautiful dreamy quality to the photographs. The piece is signed on the back and is ready to hang, or can stand on its own on a shelf. Ordering is just as easy as with the matte style, just purchase the piece from my shop and then email me your favorite photo. Allow 14 business days + shipping time. Custom orders are final sale. PRICING - ENCAUSTIC WAX FINISH: 4"x4" $65. 8"x8" $85. 8"x10" $90. 12"12" $140. |
CARING FOR ENCAUSTIC ART: After this piece is complete, it goes through a natural curing process for several months, in which the surface continues to harden. During this time, moisture may work its way to the surface and cause a slight haze and less glossy appearance. If you wish, you can restore the shine by buffing with a clean soft cloth, micro fiber is best.) Use care not to scratch the surface while polishing with fingernails or jewelry. Do not use cleaners or solvents. As time goes by, the wax will cure and harden more, and this haze will cease to appear. Encaustic wax is stable between 40°-110°F. As with any fine art, do not hang this piece in direct sunlight as this may damage the piece. Avoid freezing and extremely hot temperatures.
