Wolf Pup Studio is where you can buy unique gifts and decor made by Rachel Rivas-Plata, an artist specializing in cyanotypes and encaustic art. Encaustic is the ancient art of melting a mixture of beeswax and tree resin, then applying it to a compatible surface such as wood or paper. Some are original paintings done with the beeswax medium, and others are archival prints or cyanotypes adhered to wood canvas then covered with clear encaustic medium. Seasonal and gift items are presented here as well, such as wood and ceramic ornaments and one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.
Caring for encaustic art is about the same care as any other fine art paintings. Avoid sharp objects, and do not leave them in direct sunlight or close to a heat source where temperatures could exceed 140F degrees.
