Can I hang it and say complete?

I have worked and worked this piece. Tried techniques that failed. One was using clay ball to create craters. Hard to dig the stuff out. I tried to fuse with sunshine on a very hot day. This was not good for an easily distracted person who left the wax out too long and it went molten. Then just raked across it randomly, creating gouges. Covered the whole thing with wax and then started scraping. Have received interesting comments regarding where it is today. Do you have some pieces that just can't be finished to your satisfaction? The problem with wax is there are about twenty layers of encaustic on this thing. I have too much invested to just put away. Or is it just hopeless to think every piece can be pulled together?

I left my digital camera in my truck and my truck is in the shop. I stupidly hit a curb, ruined my wheel and tire, and possibly something else. The body shop has to look at it for several days to diagnose and let me know what needs to be done. I am taking pictures with my phone. They are not bad but I would rather use the digital.


My phone does have cool apps to filter pictures and make them more interesting but you don't want to do that with art that you are trying to make public. Your dog and friends however can look so much more interesting.
