I've used two photos I previously posted as my focal pieces for two new wax-boxes. I will be packaging them and weighing them to get shipping costs for www.dawnsartshop.etsy.com. I did learn when my pine resin and beeswax is melting, not to push down on the top layer of hardened wax thinking it's not all the way melted. I somehow ended up with two hands covered in the mixture and wax splattered all over my studio. I'm still rubbing it off door knobs throughout the house. Lesson learned. This is what kept me sane during that ridiculous escapade. click here.

Encaustic art ROCKS!
I recently took an encaustic art class. This was the first collage piece made. It is themed after the girlie 'laundry day" painting I've been working on. I have plans for this encaustic medium. Big plans.
A random grouping of textiles, melted pine resin & beeswax. What a day!! A heat gun was involved for fusing the layers of textiles and wax. String, how I love the string! Something so simple yet so perfectly swirly. I love a good swirl.
