Vintage Beeswax Faux Encaustic

I demonstrate how to create a faux encaustic look using my Vintage Beeswax Baked Texture from Emerald Creek. You can see and purchase all 7 flavors of embossing powder in the collection on my website www.sethapter.com. Find out more about Emerald Creek Craft Supplies at www.emeraldcree....

[@ZenaBattaglia]

I watched Cori Denham use your powders and phoned Kim at Emerald Creek, Canada. What a lovely woman, great customer service. I bought a ton of your colors. I received them yesterday and can’t wait to use them this weekend.

[@dogbreath180]

You are a good instructor Seth. Thanks

[@SethApter]

Thanks a million Joe.

[@SethApter]

Many thanks Joe!

[@HeiderosesPhotograph]

I just made my first piece with your products, I am in love with it, thanks for the fast delivery :)

[@SethApter]

That is fantastic Ann. Thanks for trying it and thrilled you love it!

[@dianejarvis5620]

That lovely icon is so beautiful. Thank you for such an inspiring tutorial. I have searched for this product on both Amazon and Ebay without success. Is it only available from America? America's shipping costs makes things so expensive if one lives in other parts of the world (I'm from England). Anyway, thanks again for showing us something really special!

[@SethApter]

Hi Diane. Thank you. The product is hard to find outside of the US and Canada but you can get it online at Handmade at Helen's - which is in Dumfries. The link is www.handmadeathelens.co.uk/online-store/Baked-Texture-Embossing-Powder-Vintage-Beeswax-p173122330

[@denised3157]

I really like the wax feel to it as well. It's a little bit like UTEE if you have ever worked with that before

[@SethApter]

Thanks Denise. I never have but have heard so much about the product.

[@mga9999]

I cannot wait to do this. I have the powder, so what am I waiting for. Thank you this video. And this is a beautiful piece you've created.

[@SethApter]

Thanks Marti. Enjoy the process. It is a fun one!

[@SethApter]

Many thanks Marit. Hope you have had time to play since leaving this comment.

[@karenthompson895]

Seth, *THANK YOU* for inventing this awesome texture bake! When I saw Creativation videos of it on KZbin, I immediately purchased the entire set, with extra bottles of the vintage Beeswax and Patina. L.O.V.E. this stuff! Take it easy, sweet pea. :-)

[@SethApter]

Many thanks Karen. Glad you like the powders :-)

[@SethApter]

Thanks a million Karen.

[@allywhitecat]

I think this will be my favorite.

[@SethApter]

Great to hear Susan :-)

[@SethApter]

Big smiles Susan.

[@TrenaBrannon]

This turned out beautiful Seth! I love how you described the 'baking' process and talked about flavors. :) I put my order in!! Take care and STAY POSITIVE!

[@SethApter]

LOL. Thanks Trena. Time to get cooking!

[@SethApter]

Much appreciation Trena.

[@readywalk1]

I preordered the entire set, and I want them NOW!!! LOL, so looking forward to this technique. Love your sample.

[@SethApter]

LOL. Thanks Linda. And there are fun things to do with each of them.

[@SethApter]

Thanks Linda :-)

[@Karibee61]

Hi Seth, just found you via LorriMarie who adores you. Just started watching today. Love and peace from Greenwich London UK. Are you still in New York City? My best mate has a tea shop in Greenwich Village there called Tea and Sympathy, wondered if you have heard of it or been there? xx

[@SethApter]

Glad you came by and a million thanks to Lorri Marie. And yes - I have been to Tea and Sympathy but not for many years. Need to go again! Happy holidays.

[@Karibee61]

@@SethApter Happy Holidays back at you Seth.

[@Thicketworks]

Oh, I am SO ready to play with this magic substance, Seth! If embossing has gone out of style, then I am a happy throwback who has always adored it - and with this new release, I'll have more reason than EVER! Thank you for the demo - even though it painfully reminds one that patience is a virtue in short supply... WANT them all NOW! xox

[@SethApter]

LOL. I know about that patience thing. Believe you me, I would love for this to be in your hands right now too! We both have loved and used EPs for ages. Let's keep that going Heather!

[@SethApter]

Thanks a million Heather.

[@terriayers422]

What fun! Like you always say, more is more! I also love the idea of fewer materials to get the encaustic look and it also would be a more durable piece of art. Please continue your out of the box thinking, Seth. I can't wait to add this new like to my shop.

[@SethApter]

Thanks so much Terri. I have really had fun exploring the different possibility of Baked Texture.

[@loisseeley5039]

Just got my new embossing powder. AWESOME! You kept mentioning FLAVORS and it almost made me want to eat them!! Looking forward to trying them. Have a lot of plans on how I want to use them. Thanks for developing this new product.

[@SethApter]

LOL. Thanks Lois. They do look good enough to eat...but maybe you should just use them to create ;-)

[@SethApter]

Thanks Lois. Hope you have enjoyed using these.

[@bkasstle5230]

Amazing Seth! I love the texture it gets! Wonderful!

[@SethApter]

Many thanks Brian.

[@SethApter]

Thank you Brian :-)

[@anneredfern]

Such a beautiful result Seth, it looks amazing!

[@SethApter]

Many thanks Anne,

[@SethApter]

Thank you Anne :-)

[@vapurl9330]

Never occurred to me to do it twice. Great idea!

[@SethApter]

Thanks VA Purl. It can make a big difference in the end result.

[@SethApter]

Thanks much. Hope you have tried it.

[@AbiNomac]

Can’t wait to buy these

[@SethApter]

Many thanks.

[@ruthm3985]

Always been a fan of embossing powders, cannot wait for these to be available in the UK, yummy results Seth!

[@SethApter]

Thanks Ruth. There are a bunch of places there that are already have them for pre-order. Check out Art from the Heart www.afth.co.uk/seth-apter---emerald-creek---baked-texture-embossing-powders-811-c.asp

[@annemcdonald5602]

Fabulous! Thank you, Seth!!

[@SethApter]

Thanks so very much Anne.

[@SethApter]

Thanks so much Anne.

[@StefaniePettisTheRollingStudio]

Thank You Heather Tracy for inroducing me to Seth! Seth your AMAZING powders have intrigued me! I look forward to getting to know you and your product!💖💕💕

[@SethApter]

Thanks for the visit and such nice thoughts Stefanie. Glad to "meet ya"

[@StefaniePettisTheRollingStudio]

Seth Apter will you be coming to the Dallas Expo in June 2018? If so ill be at your booth for certain!!!

[@SethApter]

Just saw this. Was not there...but perhaps one day :-)

[@cindyceroky8274]

Hi Seth! Can you incise into the final coating of this like you can actual encaustic?

[@francineperri9918]

wow Seth this is awesome. I can't wait to get mine. Thank you so much for the video

[@SethApter]

Absolutely Francine. Thank you!

[@SethApter]

Thanks Francine.

[@Gigi_loves_crafting]

Love this really cool technique 👌

[@SethApter]

Thanks so much Gigi.

[@SethApter]

Thank you so much!

[@SammyAL2002]

Hi Seth - I love this product! I love encaustic, but, like you, do not have the space to work with it. This is wonderful! Thank-you!

[@SethApter]

My pleasure Sandra. And thanks for such a nice comment!

[@SethApter]

Thanks Sandra. Hope you have enjoyed using it!

[@DianaTrout]

Wax embossing powder! Very cool, Seth. LOL: I didn't know that embossing was out of style. I love it. Can't wait to see what else you have coming.

[@SethApter]

Thanks Diana. I really do love all the things a mixed media artist can do with EPs!

[@LollyPalooza]

Brilliant, Seth. Can't wait. See you at Creativation!

[@SethApter]

Thanks so much. I am extra excited about the show this year. See you there.

[@karenmon6493]

Really love the look! I am surprised at how close you hold the heat tool to the image...is that Necessary to get the effect? I’m always a little afraid I’ll singe what I’m working on if I’m that close

[@SethApter]

Not all all Karen. Just my habit. For some powders, I like the surface to bubble and burn a bit. You can hold the heat gun further away and the powder will still melt and have the same effect. Probably safer that way.

[@kimhupke5453]

Love it Seth!!

[@SethApter]

Thanks so much Kim.

[@scrapstobeautybyzandra]

Great! hoping to see you at the Queens Ink In March ;)

[@SethApter]

Thanks Zandra. And I will look forward to seeing you there!

[@jackiepneal223]

ok Seth! i am in love!! Couple of questions...are all of the new powders translucent? and what type of heat tool are you using? This new powder is truly A-Ma-ZING! So happy that you developed it!! Yay!!1

[@SethApter]

Hey Jackie. Thanks so much. It is the only translucent powder from this release. And I am using a very old heat gun that I have had for years. Any heat gun will do - mine is a no-longer-made model from Milwaukee.

[@jackiepneal223]

thanks for the quick reply Seth! I just love this! And just had to say, you really Rock! xx

[@SethApter]

Much appreciation Jackie.

[@shirleyhenry2529]

Fabulous!

[@SethApter]

Thanks so much Shirley.

[@PegRobinson]

So cool.

[@SethApter]

Thanks much Peg.

[@redcat4865]

The product sounds interesting but your video is in too poor quality to really see the effect :(

[@SethApter]

So sorry about that Red Cat. Right now, all I have is the iPhone to use. You can head to this blog post to see some close up photos: thealteredpage.blogspot.com/2018/01/faux-encaustic-video-tutorial.html

[@redcat4865]

Seth Apter It looks much better on the photos. Now I can see how beautiful this effect is. Thanks!

[@SethApter]

Absolutely. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and to click over to the pics.

[@TrumblebeeMom]

Thank you for the link! I, too, was having trouble seeing the detail in the video. I look forward to exploring this further! (BTW, you might want to check to see if you can get better resolution on your iPhone. Sometimes settings can be adjusted to improve video quality, not that I am an expert!) I really enjoy your work.

[@SethApter]

Thanks so much for the tip. I will check it out.
