Your feather art is perfection. I'm always on the hunt for feathers whenever I'm out walking, they are a piece of art on their own. I have a box full of all sorts of them, including Blue Jay feathers. Love how you knew exactly when to stop, simplicity is key with this type of art and you nailed it. Thanks for celebrating nature so well, Ivy!
Thank you so much!!! Such kind words! Much appreciated!
I am so, so glad your older videos are still here! I had never seen encaustic work before. Wow! The medium gives the work a softness, a depth. Mind blown. Thank you! 🪶
I loved this video especially the choir of frogs in the background. I recently attended an art exhibit in my hometown and the artist embedded seed heads, reeds, leaves and other intriguing dried plants into the encaustic wax and I have been fascinated with it ever since. The blurred softness of it is so luxurious and appealing to me. I loved your use of the vintage papers. Thank you for this
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your own experience! Really appreciate it!
So lovely, I really love the gold leaf, it just lifts it perfectly. Thank you.
This turned out beautifully! I've never wanted to try encaustic work until now. Thanks, Ivy!
This is so beautiful! I am just discovering encaustics.❤
J’aime la façon que vous avez de laisser le temps à votre inspiration et à vos œuvres de prendre forme❣️
2023 enjoyed this video
Beautiful, love it. Thank you.
Thank you! 😊 So appreciate you watching and commenting!
Ivy!!! This is so cool!! I collect bird feathers from all of my treks into nature. Have framed them. But never thought about wax. So funny, my little dog was sleeping on my lap while I'm watching you. She heard the frogs and perked up 1 ear with a look of ...what was that?..lol. then jumped down and ran outside...it was just then, you mentioned your garden frog sounds. Nature...So beautiful.
I was so, so happy to see you had posted again. I love watching these while I work out. You motivate me to try new things (and be patient), and it makes gym time fly. Thank you for the lesson and the general creative inspiration.
PS - So glad you said something about the frogs. I thought I was losing it when I kept hearing them in the background. 😊
Have you tried cutting the quill end in half? Sort of shaving it down so the side that is face down can lie flatter to the board. Just a thought for those stubborn feather ends.
Love the look of this piece!
You have such a steady hand while applying the wax. #respect What a lovely piece; I'm inspired!
As always, thank you for a lovely project!
Thanks for sharing. I love your art.
Gold leaf is best applied using a dry clean firm paint brush.
Thank you so much for sharing this video!
I find using Metallic PearlEx powder works better on encaustic when you want to use a template ~ Love the Feathers
Thanks for that tip Claudette! I'll have to try that!
First video abour encaustics that had my interest. Your voice is also very nice to hear.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful in its simplicity!
I loved watching this. Going to watch it again.

Just the most inspiring video I've seen.. Thanks for sharing..
❤ 2023 thank u for sharing
Thank you for sharing...!
i saw your find out friday, oh my god it really inspired me, thank you thank you thank you 🌸
very inspiring, thanks
Hi Ivy, love this feather encaustic piece, I'm wondering how you protect a beautiful piece like this from dust ect, is there a sealing medium you can use? I'm going to give this one a go, thank you for taking the time to share
Love to watch you create....how do you clean your brushes?
I’m thinking pour the wax over the stencil then lift it off. Now adhere the gold leaf to the sticky molten wax part. Easy Peasy!
Great idea!
I just found your channel and I love this piece! So beautiful and simple in nature. Subbing.......
This seems fast compared to using straight oil and oil/cold wax. This is why I'm in the process of swtiching from cold wax/oil to encaustic. It has some of the same effects and more as well as drying very quickly comparitvely.
What a beautiful piece! Where did you find so many feathers?
what heat gun and brush do you recommend??
Please tell me more about your wood board-what brand, where do you buy those?
Your tutorial is wonderful, what a beautiful piece of art, perserving nature too. I have worked with encaustics a little in the past and your video has got me finding my old waxes and tools. One question I've always had is, what is the longevity of wax pieces? Do they melt in a warm environment? I particlarly love this beautiful process and result :)
Thank you so much! Wax pieces last forever as long as you keep them out of very hot environments (like in a hot car or in direct sunlight) Hanging on your wall they will last a very very long time. They have found in tact Egyptian encaustic art pieces!! Its truly an ancient art!
I have always heard they last forever ...PROVIDED you keep them out of extreme heat. Even then I figured as long as you didn’t display your work in a pizza oven and accidentally hit preheat, it would be fine.
However, I was at a university art exhibit where the gallery assistant hung an encaustic piece facing the large art gallery windows. Slowly, but surely, the encaustic piece began to heat up throughout the day. The setting sun proved too much shining through the window directly onto her display. I’m not sure if the artist fused it properly, but it did affect the piece. The wax wasn’t dripping off of it, but pieces were popping up and off. So I’m not 100% sure the amount of heat it can tolerate.
Can you use a spray varnish over the wax to protect it from dust, etc.?
Honoring our bird friends! Teehee! 😘
👌 Thank you 😊
It turned out lovely. What kind of heat gun do you use?
Could you please tell me what is the heat tool that you have. Thanks
That is a heat gun I purchased at my local hardward store it is the Ace brand.
Lovely
Thank you very much!!
are the layers of wax you are using is it the medium??
How do you hang the tiles up
Hi you mentioned you could read the writing, is this with all types of paper?
white paint?? are you going to use that?
Hi Ivy on what ine use encaustic
Ivy, can you tell me what encaustic brand you used, and beeswax? Mine always turns yellow.
I’m confused about caustic wax? Too many art supplies already. Can I try with a regular candle?
Can i use candels for this
I only recently found your channel and am loving your lessons and style so much!
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Lance Fabian Instablaster :)
@Orlando Grayson I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Orlando Grayson it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Lance Fabian Happy to help xD
Do you use real gold leaf or Dutch metal please
With what do you seal it?
No need to seal it. Wax is it's own sealant.
Are you breathing in anything bad from this process? Thanks
I wanted to do something like this with some of my parrot's feathers - Could this also be done with cold wax? I've never done encuastic work.
Ivy Newport. Thanks Ivy. I will likely venture into encaustic after I give cold wax a go. Encaustic is so pretty!
Will leaves, flowers and tissue paper fade over time under the wax?
Great question Mae! Actually no, the wax will preserve them. Pretty cool right?!
Are encaustics affordable?
There is some upfront cost in getting set up and I won't say it's the most affordable medium but if you make your own encaustic medium and things like that it can cut your costs. There are lots of videos on TH-cam that show you how to do this. I started with very little supplies...working in my kitchen near the stove exhaust fan lol....just to see if I enjoyed the process.
You say your not using white wax....I must have missed the color you were using. Thanks.
Are you selling this? x
@14:00 could you have just poured wax over top?
Sehr schön gemacht 👍🎨leider kann ich kein englisch. Keine Untertitel
