Tongue Tied Number 3 in Balancing Acts

The third piece in Balancing Acts was a complete accident. I decided to use a small encausticbord that came gratis with my metallic paint set to work out the color composition for "Full of Wish". Once I completed the color scheme, however, I was unable to just leave the board blank. I came up with this pretty little antique enamel lined salt cellar with an itsy bitsy Cedar Waxwing egg resting inside it. This is a close up of the main subject. The salt cellar is less than an inch in diameter, and the acorn on top of it is only about a cm wide. As you can imagine, this amount of detail was difficult to achieve using wax!
