Year 31...in the making

Not being able to sleep at night... pure torture.
So, I decided to take a break from the struggle and fulfill some of this creative outreach that apparently I'm needing.
I have been working on a new piece at the studio and am really excited to get passed my initial thought processes and into the fun stage, creation. My mind can really over-complicate sometimes....uh, okay...most of the time.
To detour myself from becoming a cocoon of thought, I've been reverting to the things that may come a little easier and have decided to plan another Encaustic workshop at my studio in the coming month (maybe even weeks)!!!
The blazing torches, multi-layered textures, and the sweet smell of beeswax shall soon return to be shared with anyone who may be interested.
This go around I plan to go into greater depth with the preparation, materials, processes and more technical information. I'm still ironing out the details of restocking all my supplies, but I plan to have a date set in about a week.

For planning purposes, please add a comment or contact me directly if this is something you, (or someone you love), would be interested in. ;)
Hope to see you soon!


~ To color this up a little I thought I'd share a picture of some of the earrings that I made at our last craft spot hosted by the talented Lauren Harkness of Divine Design. She tirelessly instructed us on how to create fused silver pieces and texturize them with a hammer. Check out her website to see her (much more) artistic creations at:
