Art Lamp / Encaustic
The design of the lamp base was inspired by the shape of the frosted glass shade. The painted pattern on the front side of the lamp was inspired by the pattern in the wood grain of the substrate. The lamp contains a low wattage halogen bulb with a low and high switch on the cord/plug.
Encaustic paint is pigment in a beeswax and resin base. The resin raises the melting temperature of the paint, hardens it and resists dust. Encaustic medium is the beeswax and resin base without the pigment and is used to make color transparent, and gives an optical depth unique to the medium.
