...
| The encaustic class blinked by last week again. But so that I could start working with the wax at home, I thrifted a vintage electric skillet (to keep the wax in liquid while I work) and invested in a heat gun (which fuses the layers--a tutorial to follow soon). So, I'm sorry to all the spiders and cockroaches and trolls and whatever else crawls the garage floors at night: I'm moving into your space. |
| I almost finished a piece last week that I want to share, but instead I'm offering a quiet picture (above) of five minutes before class ended, a leaf, and some leftover wax. It reminds me of the ladies bathhouse atDeep Eddy: |

| Back to painting. I'm back in the game! My second commission of the summer (and a curtsey to Tonya!). |

Congrats, Steph! But we all want to see your first commission! Enough of the modesty--I know I'm not the only one who would love to see it.
xo, ME

Can I please commission a leaf from you? Seriously, maybe I'm art deprived... but that looks totally awesome, bath house reference or not.
