Small encaustic - first layer is Wood Icing using my River Rock stencil. Hand colored the Wood Icing parts with soft pastel, then layered wax and tar. Finished off with oil stick into incised sections. |
Just got back from Texas, where I took a 3 day encaustic workshop from Trish Seggebruch. Loved it. Absolutely everything about it.
Tar and torches and wax.
I also learned lots of new things that I will use in my other mixed media works and I will show you more over the coming days.
Right now I am exhausted from the insane drive home. Ok, I know I just sat there while John did the work, but it was boring.
And I was fidgety.
Blew thru the data limit on my phone by watching Netflix stuff. Geez, who knew? Had to increase my plan, ahem, which I was luckily able to backdate, the data increase I mean.
And you've got one more day to enter Susan Tuttle's contest for a signed copy of my book. Then a new contest will start. I hope you don't get bored with these give aways....
