Book Description

August 25, 2011

Rusting and burning, carving and spackling, tarring and flocking: These are just a few of the unique and surprising techniques author Patrica Trish" Baldwin Seggebruch shares with you in Encaustic Mixed Media!

New to encaustic? With Trish leading the way, you can start today! And if you've dabbled in encaustic before, the creative approach and new materials and techniques used in this book will blow you away!

Encaustic Mixed Media includes:

  • Unexpected art supplies: From the hardware store to the art supply store, author Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch shatters the conventions of what are and are not art supplies. Shellac? Yes. Tar? Sure. Patching plaster? Of course! But it doesn't stop there. You'll mix these unexpected materials with some others that are a tad more traditional, like decorative papers, and pastels.
  • Embellishment mini-demos: Why use ordinary, everyday embellishments when you can make cool ones yourself? Glue-molded structural elements and fire-treated papers and plastics: These are just a few of the unique embellishments you'll learn to create.
  • Visual inspiration: Savor amazing combinations of color, texture and technique. Dozens of galley pieces throughout the book will make you want to get started right away!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Instructions, But... September 15, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Seggebruch never skimps on the details. This book continues her tradition of detailed step-by-step instructions and fabulous photos of every important step. And mixed-media is not just a buy-me term for this work. She shows how to use pretty much anything you can find around the house to make beautiful encaustic works- 2D and 3D. I have only one criticism, and it applies to her previous book, Encaustic Workshop, as well. She does not include any safety information. I feel like putting that in all CAPS. Safety is a major concern in encaustic work. Not because you can burn the house down either. Wax fumes can kill. My first teacher put herself in the hospital and may have done permanent damage to her lungs. No one should be teaching encaustic without including a chapter's worth of information on how to work safely. Every project should include safety reminders. Seggebruch writes as if there is no safety issue at all. I can only hope that this horrible lapse doesn't lead to someone's life-changing disaster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for encaustic ideas and projects September 20, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have several books on encaustic wax and dvds and this is my favorite book. The author gives directions in a direct and easy to understand manner. The ideas in her book have helped me create and expand my encaustic work. I highly recommend this book plus her dvds to those who are interested in learning to work with wax or those who are experienced in this medium.
