Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Wax art is the application of specially formulated colored wax to encaustic art card or other media using an ordinary household nonsteam iron. The effect can be a somewhat surreal landscape similar to work done with a palette knife or a textured abstract. The projects in this book include landscapes, greeting cards, and wax printing on fabric. All are illustrated with wax art done by the author. This unusual craft will probably increase in popularity as it becomes better known. Recommended for public libraries.
