"Effervescence" was created during a Shellac Burn and Blowtorch workshop last year. The gold pigmented shellac was set on fire on top of the dark blue and black background. The droplets of wax added before the board is set on fire get encapsulated in those wonderful organic shapes. After the fire goes out, additional use of the blowtorch allows me to remelt and "move" the surface into pleasing shapes.
