I like how this piece turned out. Very nice! Regarding waiting so long for the linseed oil to oxidize before proceeding….here’s what I’d do. (I simply don’t have the patience to wait for days for it to oxidize.) I clean as much as I can get off with clean rags. Then I do a very light fuse. The fuse encapsulates that remaining fine skim of linseed oil, removes the rag buff marks and restores the ‘waxy’ surface. That very small amount of oil in the wax should cause no problem to the integrity of the wax. (I’ve talked to Richard at R&F Encaustic about this. In fact they have a fact sheet about combining oil and wax on their website).
Great tip Linda, thanks! I struggle with my heavy hand and am always so paranoid I'm gonna fuse too much and ruin things. But you're right, it's worth it sometimes!!

Love the textures 😀
Thanks for watching!
Really awesome outcome, I’m going to have to try this one!!!
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful tips and tricks.
Inspiring!
I’m going to have to get some spackle now! I use coconut oil rather than linseed. It works beautifully, with no worries about the oxidizing problem.
Yeah, the spackle is so fun!!
Great technique. I'm definitely going to try it too.
Beautiful! I am inspired.
I love this technique!!
It's so fun!!!
Very nice!!❤️
Thank you! 😊
looks amazing!

What kind of transfer paper?
I’m intrigued with the flexible stamps. Can you share the source?
Yep, this stamp is from creative embellishments. They sell mostly chipboard, but have a few awesome stamps.
