I just wanted to hop on really quick & give you a peek at what I've been working on for the last couple of days as well as some picts of the work I did in our ENCAUSTICS class tonight! (I apologize for the lighting quality on the pics - much better light during the day in my studio, but I just couldn't WAIT to SHARE!!)
Here's a couple of fun decor pieces & some cards I've done for the craft fair in November...

(The bird & flower paper used above is from this FANTASTIC paper pad from DCWV featuring artist Donna Estabrooks! I am totally in love with it & it just makes me WANT to PAINT!! Soon, VERY soon!!)
Now for the
ENCAUSTICS class! We (mom & I) decided to treat Kim to this class at our local community college for her birthday! It was soooooo much fun & the teacher,
Camille Scott, was
FABULOUS!! We went into the class not knowing a lot about encaustics - pretty much had only seen work where the artist had covered their painting or collage in clearish wax. This was a whole different thing!!!

Just a few of what I made tonight |
Camille showed us how to play the wax around on the paper with the iron & stylus tool. She had some amazing landscapes that were all done in WAX!! It was totally cool & we can't wait to go back next week for the 2nd class when she's going to teach how to emboss, use alcohol inks with the wax & more!!

That's it for tonight! Can't wait to share some more with you (& hopefully better photos!!)
TTFN!
