December 2007 - If you have an order form/price list that says it's for 2007, I'll honour those prices until 31/3/08.
December 2007. "Are there no books on encaustic
apart from those 3 by Michael Bossom?" I get asked quite often.
There are some others and I've now got a good supply of "The Art of
Encaustic Painting" by Joanne Mattera. This has 144 pages but don't
expect to see anything done on glossy card with an iron - oh no! It's more
serious than that! I'm selling it for £16.50 although the RSP is about
£19.95. The order form
for just books and videos/DVDs is here........ www.waxes.co.uk/booksandvideos.htm
November 2007. The Heat-it Craft tool is back in stock but it's now called the "Heat Buddy" and is lilac instead of white. Made for heating the rubber-stampers' embossing powders really but it's my personal favourite hot air tool for encaustic; however, if you want forceful hot air, you need to look elsewhere! www.waxes.co.uk/hotairtools.htm
November 2007. "Are there no books on encaustic
apart from those 3 by Michael Bossom?" I get asked quite often.
There are some others and I've now got a good supply of "Wax Art" by
Hazel Marsh. This has 122 pages with lots of different ideas and all quite
simple stuff. I'm selling it for £9.50 although the RSP is about £12.95.
I think it's out of print now so if you want one, buy now! The order form
for just books and videos/DVDs is here........ www.waxes.co.uk/booksandvideos.htm
March, 2007. I've managed to get a few pots of the "Magic powder" again; Gold, Silver, Copper & Antique! ; £3.50 per pot; email magicpowder@waxes.co.uk , if you are interested. A little goes a long way!!!
March, 2007. New tips for the stylus just arrived - narrow triangle and small egg - for those that like shapes!
January, 2007. I'm allowed to rent out the DVDs as well as the videos now. There are 5 DVDs available but the other (the original and most inspiring) is only available as video.
I've
found some useful plastic boxes with drop-on lids which are a see-through
plastic and A4 size http://www.waxes.co.uk/a4box.htm
.
New for 2007, those boxes are now in stock in 2 other sizes, A5 &
A6. Great for protecting your encaustic card stock!
The new DVD, "From Hobby to Art" is now available showing lots of hotplate techniques and hot air work by Elisabeth Van Uden. This is not available in video format - sorry! http://www.waxes.co.uk/booksandvideos.htm
HOTPLATE:
There is now a large ( working, heated area 405mm x 605mm) , glass-topped
hotplate available. This has an excellent thermostat and is ideal for
numerous encaustic techniques. Take your art to a new level!

New
tools are available for the hotplate; a set of 5 scrapys Picture
(rubber tipped to give beautiful flowing marks) and a set of 4 sponges Picture
which can be cut easily to different shapes or used as they are. Order
here
We can no longer get the heatpad which was an alternative for those who
were desperate to try
hotplate techniques without spending quite so much. Occasionally, you
might see a glass-topped hotray at a boot sale or some such - if you do , it's
probably worth buying!
I've
got some useful painting knives in stock now for use with the hotplates .
More info here
There
is now a new video called "A Bigger Picture in Encaustic Art" .
It is also available as a DVD.
"Quick Cards" is now available as a DVD too.

48 colours
NEON red/pink/orange/yellow/green/blue
PASTEL: mint/coral/cream/
REGULAR: Magenta, Cyan Blue, Middle Yellow, Bright Red, Purple, Sap Green,
Indigo . Apart from the Indigo (beautiful blackish blue), these are
all good bases from which to mix new colours, hence they are sometimes described
