After the holiday haitus, I am back into the studio. I melted down some of my earlier encaustics that weren't making it and they sure came out well once they were reborn. I think because I use only pure colors, no earth tones or black, they really have a magically way to work themselves out. My new series that is on my website, are all the same. They were something else and were reborn... now if only I could figure out how to make them without having to do the first part, I would be styling. I am still having fun, I love encaustics! Only once so far did I almost burn my house down... I was at the point of going for the fire extinguisher but didn't want to deal with cleaning up the mess it would make. So I beat the fire out... such are the trials of using a torch to make art. I signed up for the 2nd annual encaustic conference in the spring, and I recently got a grant to learn 'marketing for artist'. Now won't that come in handy.
