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.
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

Make sure to double click on the photo if you can't see the entire scene
