Red Heart Angel with spiral

Show your love with this big-hearted angel. This red angel was created by hand by bending steel wire into the angel shape, followed by the heart and coil embellishment. The 3 layers of steel were then dressed with red tissue paper dipped in encaustic medium, and adhered to the wire with encaustic medium as well.

The angel comes with a red satin ribbon for hanging. This angel measures 3 1/4 inches tall by 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch deep.

Encaustics should be cared for as you would for any fine art piece. Encaustic derives from the word ‘burn in’ and is a process of applying molten wax colors to a surface for the creation of images or decoration that began more than 2 millennia ago with Roman Egyptian wax portraits. Encaustic Medium is a blend of beeswax and resin.
