These were made with the iron at first to get a rich flowing background, then embellished using the stylus (like a soldering iron) to add detail.
You never know exactly what you're going to get with the ironing part so you have to learn to go with the flow (literally). At least I never know. Those of you with incredible control and skill will know EXACTLY what will happen, I'm sure!
There are another couple of techniques to show, so look out for another Encaustic session soon.
