Stay Open Pedestal Vessel, Encaustic Mixed Media Form

$75.00

This pedestal vessel is:

→ a dimensional painting for simple enjoyment and

→ a lovely utilitarian object for wrapped sweets, bagged nuts or even fruit (cover the surface entirely with wax or parchment paper first as the encaustic paint is not food safe).

→ If the vessel gets dirty, the encaustic painted surfaces can be gently wiped with a wet cloth and mild soap. Keep the chalk painted underside dry.

→ Repeat: NOT food safe but fine for holding wrapped goodies or used with parchment or wax paper entirely covering the surface

Encaustic mixed media handbuilt form made from humble materials.

Approx. 9 × 9 inches - body

Approx. 2 inches - pedestal

The "artist's hand" is evident in all of my work- smudges, imperfections, crinkles, etc.

Photo: Colors will/may vary in person. I do my best to represent the actual colors, but my photography and photo editing skills have their limits.

Please note:

Information about the care of your original artwork will be included in your package when necessary.
Paintings on paper: I allow the acrylic paint and mediums I use throughout the process on my sketchings and paintings on paper to suffice as they are without a varnish because these works need to be framed. When framing, please choose a UV protected glass/plexi.
Paintings on wood & wood carvings: These paintings are sealed with a final coat of cold wax medium for longevity which yields a slightly longer shipping timeline as I don't seal them until they've sold.
Encaustic works:

When buffing is needed, some pigment may transfer to your lint free buffing cloth- no harm done.
If a handmade wire hanger has been added, it can be gently manipulated to balance the item for hanging on a nail.
When necessary bumpers or a skim coat of chalk paint have been added to keep your wall/surface free from any wax remnants on the underside of the work.
