I am having fun exploring the integration of cold wax, oil and encaustic painting into my mosaic work. Sometimes combining both techniques into one mosaic piece!

“Poppies”, encaustic wax in background of the poppies and cold wax and oil on the vine
In “Moon Lit” I carved out a channel in the substrate and inlaid a mosaic. This exploration had an interesting effect which holds promise for future work.
