Help a Curious (poor) Artist

Thu Oct 1, 2009, 9:38 AM
Hey all, I am never on here anymore, but I really could use some know-how help. I am trying to search for DIY encaustics. Is it really hard to make your own purified and bleached beeswax? It is like $20 for a one pound bag! So ridiculous! I have just been using those little tea candles since they are dirt cheap. The kitchen looks like I am having a seance when I burn these little candles down so I can get enough to cover my surface.I am tempted to melt down crayons. Both of those methods are probably a little less than archival-friendly, lol. Can someone help me? I am really interested in melted wax mediums right now. And on that line, I have just been using a blow drier when I melt the wax on my surface, and it takes forever. Any recommendations on heat guns? Thanks all!

Also...I think my lack of posting is because of my lack of camera or scanner. I need to get a camera someday! I miss DA.
