The newest thing I'm experimenting with is creating 3D encaustics like this - I love this stuff! See second image below for a close up detail of the 3D element.
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.
