Jinny sent me some gorgeous encaustics I want to hang up, silly question but can I put these in a normal frame or should they be without glass and if there is glass will they stick to it or melt? I love them I dont' want to wreck them. Any advice appreciated! |

Hello Virginia, Kep the wax away from the glass surface if there is one. Most of frame our encaustics (that are done on card) like a watercolour. i.e. in a mount (mat) first and then in a frame with glass; the mount stops the wax touching the glass. It's best not to put them in a clip frame with no mount as where the highpoints of the wax surface contact the glass, there'll be pressure and the wax will flatten out leaving a flat reflective area. |
