"Encaustics- photo transfer/fabric collage" Mimosa Make & Take

Two full classes for the Encaustics- photo transfer Mimosa Make & Take! This was such a fun class that you got to personalize by using your own photographs! Margaret Hluch first showed us how to do a photo transfer onto gauze. Then it was our turn to try it out...

Next we prepared our surface for the encaustic medium. Creating layers using the wax and collage materials , we were able to make a unique piece of art!

I used a picture of some trees from a trip to Chincoteague in my collage.

These crafty friends had fun and incorporated natural items like leaves in their collage.

Here are some more great results from the class!
