Wax on Wednesdays Inktober Alcohol Ink and Paper Play !

This week I started out in an entirely different direction but was drawn away by the 
lovely way the alcohol ink and wax were playing together on the paper. 

One of my favorite things to do with encaustic is work on paper. The way the wax absorbs into the paper and becomes luminous . It is a transformation that mesmerizes me every time. Encaustic layers cannot be built up on paper unless it is first mounted to a rigid support. However a single layer of wax that is absorbed into the paper is fine . 
What do I do with all of these encaustic papers ?
Journals, Journals, Journals!
Encaustic journals are a perfect way to display all of these wax infused gems. 
This week I got so carried away with the alcohol ink and encaustic papers in the 
end I had to create a journal just for them . 

Supplies I used this week:
Each week I list the supplies I used in the video here on the blog for you so that you can see and easily find the items used for that week's  technique . 

If you purchase items from the links provided it sometimes generates a few cents in commission  which goes right back in to creating videos for you on the youtube channel. It  does not raise the cost for you in any way, and is the same link you would find on a regular amazon prime search . Thank you ahead for you support of Wax on Wednesdays in any way ! Also , although the photos here can help you easily find the product . I also recommend that you look at your local art /hobby store to make sure you are getting the lowest price. Sometimes with weekly 40% off coupons basic items can be found at a better price.

For fining printing on the palette you can use an R and F hotplate, Paula Roland Hot Box , or these Enkaustikos anodized aluminum plates placed directly on the griddle .
