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~

Orlando workshop!

Photos don't do it justice; we were painting on a gloriously sunny Florida weekend out doors on the hosts back porch!~overlooking a small lake :) Sometimes the unexpected 'perks' of this job (job?! what job?! I love what I get to do!) astound my feeble mind....go graciously blessed...

 We did some burning, par for the course in my workshops :), and I began to tell them of the more burning I've been doing-which garnered much teasing about being a piro :))) Not ungrounded mind you.....I just sent off an email and reread my new tag line on my signature and had to giggle....it was not intentionally associated in this way :) Off to Mt Dora for a weekend with more wax! in love. trish

more burn!

I've gone ahead and begun to burn in the garage and driveway! I'm finding I set the smoke alarm off a lot less frequently this way :) in love. trish
