12" x12" encaustic painting.
This block of encaustic is 13"x13"x 1.75". About 150 layers each layer brushed on and fused. Before I start to cut I warm it up using a heat lamp.
First cut using a small loop tool. These tools are used for making dentures.
Next a hot putty knife.
Another hot putty knife.
The tools.
Clean up.
By-product that I will use later.
Close up after it is cleaned up.
Lay out on panel. The panel has 10 layers of encaustic on it.
Welding the color strip to the panel using a torch.
Close up after the weld.
Build a dam around the panel using blue paint tape.
Pour clear encautic medium over the whole panel.

Thank you for the creative recipe! I'm just a beginner. I love the process of working with the wax and heat.
The colors are soooo vivid
Karl, is fantastic all your work. I have so many question... how many layers of each colors you put in each color layer?, what is the best tool you use to cut the layers if is an internal cut, not a border? it work better if the wax is warm or cold?
Thank you
thank you for sharing this technic. I had problems to attach a scraped layer from a pannel to attach on another painted board. Your work isbased on a lot of layers, good to see.
Nice outcome. Looks great but seems like you could get the same effect using less wax. I suppose your set up to make a lot of pieces in the future.
