waxy wednesday #2

Quite some time ago, back 'in the day' when I was in the initial love-affair stage of my relationship with encaustic I was shown a technique with shellac by a Dutch visitor to America. While it was cool, it wasn't enough. So, like everything else I've done with encaustic since, I had to see 'what would happen if' and push the limits. Thus, shellac burns-wet and dry-as I like to refer to them, were born. This is a quick video excerpt from my FW Media, Artist's Network TV video. Enjoy :) And make sure you check out Youtube for a whole lot more on encaustic, shellac and all things wonderfully waxy~

flowers of the field

 Ugh....horrible photography! But alas, I am traveling and can't redo what's been done ;P Some of my most favorite current work....torch love big time. I think I could pare my studio down to beeswax, panpastel, tar, plaster and a torch and I would have my nirvana...
Did you feel it yesterday?! Day 15?! A dreaded '5' was there...and I survived it gallantly! Just two more 5's on my way to my 45!
in love.
