For the limitations project I chose to limit myself to using only wax. Using this limitation I melted a large pan of wax (to clear out impurities) and set it out to cool. Once cooled and solidified I decided to carve the image of an eagle into it, which is still under way. After I carve/etch my chosen image into the wax I will cover the surface with a liquid pigment (most likely india ink) and wipe off the excess once the pigment has seeped into the carved bit, leaving just the carved image stained in ink. |
