That's really cool! Currently, my work is not on display anywhere. I haven't participated in any markets lately. Do you exhibit anywhere?

Hi, encaustic is a blend of beeswax and damar resin which is a tree resin.

Thank you. I'm glad you find it helpful!

Thank you for that. I appreciate your feedback

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that!! I'm glad you like it!

Yay!! Thank you! They are very fun too!!

Hi! Welcome! I use some leftover stuff my husband has in the garage, but the artist I learned from suggests Henry's Wet patch. It should be available at your local home goods store if you're in the USA. Enjoy your journey! It's so much fun!

Nice!! Thank you

Hi Lynne! I believe it is walnut, yes. I actually searched on FB marketplace for scrap wood or something and found a couple of sellers. I secured several types of hardwoods in varying sizes. I did stain the wood with a slightly darker water based stain. I'll have to keep an eye on those pens. I hadn't heard that they are leaky. That's good to know. Thank you for watching! And the tip!!

Thank you. That's very kind

The encaustic? It is recommended to have good ventilation when using encaustic, and it should not be heated over 180°F for long periods of time.

Hi! I don't have a good set up that allows me to have the panels next to my hot pallette. But it's not super far. I'm using some 4x12 planks I found in my local home supply store in the craft section.

Ok I do think the plastic silver draw is a cool idea to put some tools in. Did you coat them with either chalk paint which is gesso? Or did you use something else? Thanks

I'm not sure I understand the question.

@@LDFDesignsArt hi right doesn’t make sense to me either , sorry I was saying I thought the plastic silverware storage was a smart idea. Also wanted to know with the panels did you use chalk paint on them or gesso or encaustic type of paint? Sorry about that.

Ohhhh! Lol. Ok, yes. I like that too storage, not it does take up a lot of space and I still struggle locating tools! Lol. I used chalk paint on those panels. I have never purchased or used actual encaustic gesso.

Hi! Great question. Generally acrylic is not compatible with encaustic. I am not aware of any artist that uses it on the surface, but there are a few who use it sparingly under encaustic. The "plastics" in acrylic paint will not adhere to the encaustic. They repel each other.

@@LDFDesignsArt That make sense. Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thank you. I was really happy with it.

Thank you very much for watching. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the music I picked for this video. I have a limited selection to choose from.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching

I know, righr!?! Lol. I knew I'd find some of "my people " out there! Thank you for saying so! I appreciate your compliment as well. Thank you!

They are a little tricky for sure! Stencilgirl had great ones. They're also a little challenging to clean. You want a material that can take the heat! Can't wait to see!

@@LDFDesignsArt She has amazing stencils! You should get a commission for my purchase :-)

​@AliDrew haha!! I'm glad you like them!

Hi! Welcome aboard! I'm very grateful for your interest in my channel. I'm not fancy, but I learned from a lot of RUclips videos and wanted to do the same for others!. I also took an online class that was amazing! I'm happy to share my journey!

Hi! It's a silicone mat! I have ceramic tiles on top of my table, then silicone mats on top of those. I'm very grateful for your patronage and questions! Thank you so much!

I’m learning a lot, thank you

Great question! Not exactly, no. There are some technicalities for sure. I will see if I can create something in the upcoming weeks. Each encaustic artist works differently, but there are some basics that we should follow.

Aww! Yay! Thank you. I appreciate your encouragement!

Thank you!

Thank you very much! I'm so glad!

Hi, thank you so much. I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Most of my work is small. I pack it with packing materials to make sure it is secure. Using foam sometimes. I always check with collectors to make sure it's not left outside very long

HAHAHA! well there ya go! You'll love them! I look forward to seeing your creations

Thank you. I'm happy you like it!

Thank you for watching. I pack them tightly with packing material.

Yay!!!!! Thank you so much. I'm so happy you feel that way

Thank you! It's such a fascinating medium. It likes natural materials very much.

Thank you for watching. Hearing that really encourages me. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it very much.

Never mind I just watched another of your videos explaining the tar, thank you going to check out my husbands garage tomorrow lol

Lol! Hi! The artist I learned from uses Henry's wet patch. I use something my husband had in the garage. Have good ventilation! I can't wait to see what you make! Thank you so much for watching!

Hello, I'm assuming you mean the mat below the paper in working on. It's a silicone baking mat. Silicone mats are great with most mediums. Thank you very much for watching!

Oh thank you. I enjoy your videos 🎉🎉

Yay! Thank you!

Thank you! Very exciting! Can't wait to see what you do

Yes. Some artists use encaustic only! I haven't tried that yet!

LOVE AUSTRALIA! I've been over once! Thank you very much for watching and the compliment.

Hi! What a wonderful compliment. Thank you very much. I appreciate it a lot. Reach out any time! I'll go Follow you back on IG!

Wow. Thank you very much!

Hi! Great question! In theory, yes. I've not tried it yet. However, I do have some kiln dried ceramic waiting to be experimented on. I know wax will work with it. However, it will probably absorb a lot. So, a surface treatment may be advisable.

Thank you very much! Stay tuned...I have part 2 coming up tomorrow! I really appreciate your feedback! 😀

Thank you for that. I really appreciate it! Vote noted!

Hi Holly! So, A. I'm using a product that my husband had left over in the garage. It's very old. B. I've had it take a very long time to dry in some cases. I haven't used it "a lot" directly on the surface like this. I do think some sort of chemical reaction might happen between the compound and Tar that helps it dry? But I don't know that to be true. C. I know when I'm applying it to the surface with vegetable oil, sometimes that will increase the dry time. I do have a few tacky areas on my current piece. D. I am in Northern Indiana, I work in a somewhat temperature controlled room, but it does vary. Lastly, the artist I learned from recommends Henry's wet patch. That is not what I'm using, but the product I'm using works on for me. I can't even read the brand on the bucket... lol. It's pretty old! Haha. Maybe that's what helps it dry? Thank you for watching! And for the great questions. I'd love to see what you're working on!

@@LDFDesignsArt Thanks so much for your reply, Leslie! I used Henry's wet patch, and I did apply it with vegetable oil onto the pottery. So I bet you're right - that's probably what increased the drying time for me. I'm going to give it a spray with some varnish and see if that takes away the sticky feeling. Thanks again! :)

I haven't worked with the Henry's. I do use paper towel to blot it sometimes. I'll bet it's the vegetable oil.

Thank you for watching! Yes, absolutely!

Thank you. I really appreciate that!

Thank you! I do usually try touching it to my clothing first, but I haven't tried the heat. Will give it a go. Thank you!

Well! That sounds like a great tip!! I'll definitely try it!! Thank you!

Thank you for watching! I'm happy you like it. I love adding a shimmery touch somewhere, and I love your description!

Hi! The artist I learned from suggests Henry's wet patch. I'm using some product my husband had in the garage. I store a small amount in a disposable leftovers container with a lid. It has a strong odor, so be sure you're well ventilated!

And welcome!! I'm so glad you're here!

Thank you. I appreciate that very much!
