Stringing Line

I hope to finish this piece today.  It’s the second Oakwood Power Lines encaustic — I have more lines to “install”.  Wish me luck - this piece is getting touchy.  The tricky part has proven to be not disturbing the sky as I scrape back with the blade.  I didn’t expect it because I have a very generous layer of wax for the sky but I used pure white in the underpainting and that seems to be the catch.  So, I’m adding layers of clear medium more often than I would have expected.
