On the beach at Waiheke Island about a year ago I chose one square foot of beach and collected whatever was on it. Last year I made some encaustic castings of these objects and tucked them away. When I came across them recently I decided to make some little wooden boxes to install them in. I put a bronze patina on the wood then painted tiny landscapes using various acrylic media with sand and silver leaf to go above.
