I just
finished an exciting encaustic workshop! 
You
can use any rigid porus surface to create your collage on. We discovered you
can do it on paper and fabric too.
We
did a group collage on rice paper. Everyone made one 5” horizontal paper collage
piece, and then we ‘encausticated’ them as a hanging scroll.

scroll.

The finished scroll is ready to contribute to the silent auction to benefit NCSC.
This was one of those experiences that can change your work. I love collage and have worked with fiber and paper collage using traditional mediums. This adds another dimension to that. Encaustic sinks the collage, creating an air of mystery or translucent layering that I have yet been unable to achieve. I'm looking forward to exploring this new medium.

Fabulous! I recognize those pictures.
The scroll is magnificent and whoever owns this will have a real treasure. Beautiful! Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
I've been privately exploring encaustic, fabric, paint and stitch and the combinations thereof - I'm hoping to post something on my blog in March.
Sounds fabulous Wen! I've been want to take an encaustic class as well. Sounds to me like you would recommend Daniella Woolf in a heartbeat.
Lovely piece your posting here on the blog!

Thank you all- it really was wonderful.
I feel, in a way, I've come full circle as in the late 70's I used to do batik!
really beautiful...I so want to learn how to use encaustics over my photos.
