Dragonflies in Sunshine, Mixed Media/Encaustic by KUNM Supporter, Helen Cozza
Item Number: 295
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Dragonflies in Sunshine, mixed media/encaustic assemblage, 17 ½ x 16 in. (framed)
When the dragonfly shows up in your life, it may remind you to bring a bit more lightness and joy into your life. As spirit animal, the dragonfly is connected to the symbolism of change and light.
The imagery is vintage – music sheet and the dragonfly – from old books (1950’s). The paper is mounted on acid-free conservation board. Yes, it is coated with a layer of bee’s wax (encaustic) - clear on the imagery and red on the wood (birch-wood). The dots in the wood are made with a wood-burning tool. It is in a black, shadow box frame.
It should not be hung in direct sunlight but there is no danger of the wax melting unless it is kept in a hot car. Even then, the wax hardens as soon as it is placed in a cooler location.
