encaustic recycle

for today's class i brought several previously painted boards

 to scrap down and reuse

but why waste the wax

above the combination of three different works

combined to make one new one

 

first i heated the artwork

then scored it into one inch strips

scraping them off the board and then rearranging them

then i heated a second one and scraped into 3 inch strips

creating a new board in white and

photo transferring a sheet of script

and created more one inch strips

after playing around i liked the mosaic effect and

 added a red panel to balance it
