I carve wax away as often as I apply it when creating an encaustic painting. That wax is gathered in a ball. And when it gets large enough, I melt it into a wonderful neutral that I couldn’t have mixed in a million years. Recently I looked at some of my carvings and thought, “I can make art with these instead of melting them down.”

These are beautiful. I especially like the one on the black background. Was this intentional or did you forget about trying to work outside -- in August -- in Indiana? Happy belated birthday by the way! LK
