This encaustic art ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) can be mounted, framed as a set or individually. Or, simply kept in a wallet as part of your collection. The only rule concerning ACEOs is that they should be 3.5" x 2.5". Thus allowing the ownership of an original work of art at affordable prices.

Encaustic art is created using beeswax which has been melted and worked with heated tools to create individual effects. To protect the wax surface this ACEO has been painted with a wax sealer to stop it scratching.

I have tried to take the photographs to display the pieces as accurately as possible. However, colours may vary between monitors.

Please note that the easel is not for sale but only for presentation!

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:

Do you remember the Kontiki expedition which was undertaken across the ocean in a wooden raft? Thor Heyerdahl sailed from South America to the Tuamoto Islands. See this link for a fascinating insight to this trip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Heyerdahl

As I was developing this ACEO it came to me that this rather reminded me of that. A large sailed raft trying to battle the wild sea, against the odds all on its own.

Lone Sailor A lone sailor. Is this like the Marie Celeste? Or is it that this lone sailor knows he is drifting past the icebergs in this cold icy land?
