Used by Egyptians a few thousand years ago - pigment in bee's wax applied with a scoop, "yang-ting," stylus or smoothing iron. You can now buy special miniture irons, but I started with an ordinary one. Back in the days when my hair was not all grey & I spent time doing this sort of stuff, I demonstrated the technique at Moorgreen Show one year.
I found this while looking for standing stone pictures!

I've still got two of your Encaustic Art pictures. I think they were sent to me as greetings cards or something.
I used to have them over my desk at the university hall of residence, then I framed them and had them on my wall in student housing. I've not found the right place to hang them here, but I knew where to find them when I read this.
When I've managed to get the scanner working again I'll post them on my blog so you can see them.
Thanks Rosie, I sold loads & gave away loads more. Exploring them again gives me an urge to do more. I'll probably need to relearn the techniques.
