This image was made by gluing tissue paper to a board, leaving lots of wrinkles in the paper. After the glue dried the entire board was covered with encaustic. Then, photos of cutout vases were added and another layer of glue. Next music was scanned and printed onto rice paper and added on top - again covered with encaustic. Finally areas were painted with metallic oil
sticks to add a touch of color and darken the outside edges

Original photo is of dead flowers, which was glued to a board then covered with encaustic wax. Afterwards dental tools etched around the image and a hard brush was used on the cooled wax to add some scratchy textures. Finally areas of the flowers were painted with metallic oil sticks. Here's a copy of the original photo before encaustic.
