Description Third in a series of encaustice works, this collage was inspired by two previous encaustic pieces (Circles and Button, button). It includes my current interests of melting wax, paper, and buttons which are all strong, dreamy memories of time spent with my grandmothers and parents in the 50s and 60s. Dad was a beekeeper and my female relatives were all ardent seamstresses.collage of beeswax, paper, vintage buttons from my collection, inks on 5 square cradled board
