Melt, paint, draw, smooth, and texture using encaustic wax. Encaustic Wax from Purple Cows is a combination of beeswax, resin and pigment for hot wax artwork like painting or mixed media collage. The Melt Craft Iron (pcp-5050), sold separately and the Encaustic Wax Kit are the perfect tools for making the most of this creative medium. Use the Wax Stylus to melt and draw the wax into the tip like a "dip pen" or try the wire brush for creating texture and strokes. The Mini Iron tip is perfect for melting and spreading wax onto a project's surface. The clear wax is great for starting out with this creative medium. Each kit includes: wire brush tip, wax stylus, and mini iron tips, clear wax, and sandpaper.
