Missouri Botanical Garden’s Climatron all layered up and getting ready to be carved out in the “working backwards” phase of of my encaustic process. . Once I get a scene drawn out, I chop it up and imbed it in the wax medium at different layers to create a 3-d scene. Next I will carve the scenery out, and then using a repeating (often tedious) combination of carefully scraping, fusing just to the exact melting point needed, and then pressing the images flat again if needed after cooling using wax paper and a rolling pin. I do that over and over again until I’ve got the imagery exactly as clear (or fuzzy) as I want it to be. . This is kind of a long step in my process requiring a lot of patience. Sometimes days of patience. But I haven’t been able to get the same results any other way and I always find the end results are worth the work. . It’s also my favorite part of the process, as frustrating as it is at times. . Oh! And the Climatron glows in the dark! So that’s exciting, I will show it off later. 😉 . . . 🔥🎨⚜️🎨🔥 . . . #stlartist #stlart #stlouisartist #stlouisart #stlcreatives #artprocess #encausticart #encausticartist #encausticpainting #waxart #onmyeasel #inmystudio #stlwaxworks #leahmerriman #doitfortheprocess #postitfortheaesthetic #carveouttimeforart #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #wipart #sunsetart #waxpainting #stllove #greendoorartgallery #waxywednesday #keepcreating #howidoit #artforinteriors #sayyestoartstl #arteveryday (at St. Louis Wax Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKyxdpnpyk/?igshid=196fkthoo7gz

“There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.” - GK Chesterton . Because all things eventually end up relating back to an English cozy in my life 😂.

Progress... it’ll get there. Lately I have had to remember to be kind to myself. I’ll get there, we’ll all get there — just be kind and patient and never stop pressing onward.

All encased at different layers through the the wax medium, I’m now “working backwards” in a way. I carve the scenery out, and then using a repeating (often tedious) combination of carefully scraping, fusing just to the exact melting point needed, and then pressing the images flat again if needed after cooling using wax paper and a rolling pen. I do that over and over again until I’ve got the imagery exactly as clear (or fuzzy) as I want it to be. . . This is kind of a long step in my process requiring a lot of patience. Sometimes days of patience.
