Here are two panels, each 10" X 10" showing the scale of the Bay Bridge entering San Francisco. Encaustic, it should be said can and should be touched... at least I encourage you to touch mine -- after they cool and dry that is.
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.
Make sure to double click on the photo if you can't see the entire scene
