These hand painted statement earrings will quickly become one of your favorite accessories! Each encaustic earring is unique, unbelievably lightweight, and earth friendly. Encaustic is a wax-based paint made of beeswax, resin, and pigment. It is applied while in a molten state onto the bark and fused with a torch. Wax sealer is then applied.
For length and width, please see the photo. The right earring weighs 0.3 oz. and left earring weighs 0.25 oz. Approximately the weight of 2 pennies.
The bark was salvaged locally from fallen trees. Each piece has been cut, sanded by hand and reinforced with wood glue. The glue creates a glossy finish on the bark.
These are fine art earrings and should be handled carefully.
The hardware is nickel and lead free and hypoallergenic. It is strongly encouraged to wear the backings provided so an earring does not fall out.
These encaustic earrings were featured in my 2023 exhibition where I created earrings based off a 2D piece of art. See the last photo for the 2D piece I referenced.
