Waxing ON!

Ok, I know I am interested in quite a few things, and wax collage is another. I was working on something entirely different (paper casts) (coming soon) but picked up a book on Encaustic Painting and read it during the superbowl...sorry you sports fans, but art was calling to me! (I did however catch the couple outstanding touchdowns...so I can tell my grandson one day if I get one that I saw them) I really liked this book for its variety of methods...it isn't just slapping on colored wax. It is entitled: Encuastic Workshop by Patricia Baldwin Seggegruch. JUST published this year. I encourage you to take a peek if you've ever wanted to play in wax. This little 6x6 piece (entitled Natures Bouquet) was a demo I did in a workshop I taught this summer before I ever heard of adding resin (does that spark your interest? it is in the book)...Natures Bouquet is just a simple little piece that is entirely wax as the medium. I used some real daisies, some photos and the background is different papers. The dark background doesn't show the edges very clearly, but you get the idea...I hope this gets your creative juices flowing!!

Welcome to my new followers. I am so appreciative that you find something of interest here. I have visited all of your sites and am blown away by what I see...
