In my Veiled Beauty series, I produced my cyanotype prints by combining with various plant life with some sort of translucent material to be used as a "veil". I chose various plants that I feel will compliment the effect of the translucent material. Each print was then covered in clear encaustic paint that was manipulated to make a slight textured surface.
Each piece is composed of a handmade original cyanotype print that has been mounted to a cradle board and enhanced with encaustic paints for a one of a kind piece of art.
The encaustic paint seals the piece, and also adds shine and a light texture. These pieces are ready to hang as they are or they can be mounted in a floating frame. There is no need for glass on encaustic works.
