WANTED encaustic wax blocks

[Tengu]

I have found a stylus and Id like to try it out...But no wax.

Has anyone ever tried this art?

Any wax spare? I have a lot to swap

You can use cheap kids crayons to try it out Tengu.

At it's most original form it's just coloured earths embedded in beeswax. So, coloured candles, or make a lake from natural dyestuffs (ground bark or spices like cinnamon are good) and melt into plain cheap off white candles.

It's kind of fun to do Makes good 'green man' type things with the whole 'natural materials' type thing
