Tag and Encaustic Collage

This is a tag that started off as a forum challenge but I ended up giving to a friend ;)
The main image is stamped onto acetate and put onto the tag which had resist stamping on it, which was part of the challenge.


This is my first encaustic collage, all images are from Retro Cafe Art, and you can't see it very well but the little jars stuck to the top have in them "Dried Warts, Toe Nails and Slug Slime" LOL they are actually 12th scale bottles from my dolls house. I added everything into the wax on this collage, angel hair, buttons, glitter, sparkles, rub ons, beads etc, anything that would stick, I tried it! And the beauty of this is, if you get it wrong you simply melt it and start over!
