Encaustic Art...to view and to make

Here is an ancient medium art form that uses molten wax colours that are ironed on to paper and then shaped into interesting effects. It is apparently becoming increasingly popular with contemporary fine artists.

In the link there are demos to click on that show you how you can achieve these results (the boxes with big arrowhead symbols).
