What Happens When You Pour Wax On Your Photo?
Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at 11:15AM WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPEN!!!!
Now, we know our readers love to get the "latest" trends in the consumer photo world - and although this trend has been around a while in the professional photography world, we are guessing that this is something you have not had the thrill of seeing yet!
It is called Waxworks, and it is a handcrafted process that creates a stunning fine art piece that you would be proud to hang in any room of your home!
The Waxworks process combines your photographic print, which will be mounted a wooden panel with archival glue with a surface treatment that combines natural beeswax and an oil paint medium. The final result is a painterly effect that lies on top of the wax coating creating a soft dreamy effect.
Seeing it online does not do it justice! We have seen these at the last few photography shows we have attended and each time it is like we are seeing it for the first time.
The pieces can be a little bit pricey, but they are handcrafted and we believe worth every penny. These images will become cherished family heirlooms that will stand the test of time. They have a classic feel that will stand the test of time.
For more information on the process and the artist, please visit WaxWorks Photo. If my sources are correct, you can get a 16" x 20" Waxwork piece for only $150, that is 40% off the regular retail, but the deal ends this Friday!
If you have had the pleasure of seeing one of these pieces before, please leave a comment and let others know what you think!

THEY ARE VERY SPECIAL WORKS OF ART, EACH IMAGES IS TRANSFORMED. I HAVE ORDERED MANY AS GIFTS FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, EVERYONE LOVES THEM.
I believe that special people should become immortal...his/her image forever embedded in our minds...and so since my Mother is such an inspirational and intrical part of my life...I had her image forever archived in a magnificent piece of art...Ther photography of Susan Beard combined with the etherial and stunning artwork of waxworks is for the elegant and discriminating investor who appreciates artistry at its finest!!!!
This looks terrific...I wish there was a way to digitally preview a photo prior to ordering???
