Fantasy Castle Cards 3 - The SCRY Set 

Thanks again for your positive comments Sandra.

... I think that is at the Efteling isn't it? We went there when our kids were young (early nineties!!). Glad that you enjoyed this anyway - thanks for the feedback.

artsencaustic Wow, yes it is in the Efteling. Great that you were there with your family, it is one of my most favourite places.

Fantastic! Love the technique!

... thanks for your bright blessings 0- they are happily received : ) I'm glad too that the videos I muster into life are helping and encouraging. I'm not really trying to say 'do this' but rather I am trying to say 'stretch out into your own unending creativity'. SO you fulfill that result for me Tereza. Bright blessings to you too .. : Michael

+MixMax You need a non-absorbent card - otherwise the wax is absorbed into the surface of the paper and can no longer be moved about or changed. Encaustic Art Painting card is what was used on the video. Any good slick non-absorbing card (you can get back to white after colour has been applied by using the iron to scrape off is the way to test it. It should still be white card underneath afterwards - not coloured or stained by the wax that was there.

Kana, it is on 300gms non-absorbent card stock. If you do a web search for [ encaustic art painting card ] you will find it.

ok, but is it any kind of glossy or matte paper, because I'm from Poland and I have to find replacement for this paper.

Kana PL ... basically any glossy / non-absorbent paper will not get dirtied by the wax being applied - it stays on the surface of that type of card and this means it is easily reworkable. But any absorbent paper / card will become 'dirtied' by the wax when it is applied - the wax will penetrate the surface with it's colour. This means that alteration is not possible although application of other colour on top is potentially OK - each surface will offer it's own variation of particular absorbency. example of glass as totally non-absorbent and of a bathroom towel as being very absorbent - hope this is clear - any surface is OK but all surfaces will offer their own characteristics. Non-absorbent surfaces on flexible material (like the card) are easiest to begin working with just because it is easy to rework and change the wax results.

+Cathy Speerly It is a scribing tool Cathy. Basically a metal rod with one end having a clean unsharpened point and the other end having a bladed form for scraping wider strokes of wax away.

So kind of you to reply. Cathy

+Crisyta Looks great :)
