You can apply encaustic to different types of surfaces, for example canvas or wood. I prefer wood because of the stiffness if provides the wax, but it's really a personal preference. Luckily, I happen to enjoy working with wood, so I build my own supports or bases. Building my own supports allows me to use recycled wood as much as possible. It also gives me an excuse to use power tools.
This weekend, I built some larger supports to begin working on new pieces for a show in November. I'll tell you about the show as the date gets closer.
Here are some photo's in my shop (aka very small garage).
Later,
Karl
