Carving down to expose shellac burn detail in places. I use so many different carving tools - and I’m always on the hunt for new interesting mark-makers to add to my collection of scrapers... I’m absolutely not above yoinking an interesting cutlery item or dental tool. I mean, I’m not admitting to anything, but I’m definitely not above it. 🤷♀️😏🍴🥄🥢✍️🤫😉 #studiosecrets #hideyourspoons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #texturetuesday #waxworld #stlouisart #stlouisartist #stlart #stlartist #stlwaxworks #leahmerriman #howdoyouart #justkeeppainting #inmystudio #cylcollective #artforinteriors #waxart #encausticartist #encausticart #artadvisory #contemporaryartcurator #artagency #artagent #donttakeyourselftooseriously #creativehappylife #sayyestoart #sayyestoartstl #upcomingshow #upcomingartist #artforinteriors #artforthehome (at St. Louis Wax Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvex23rBIVX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nppturgdiw1i
