I have never been so challenged by a creative medium, but the beauty and the possibility of encaustics have me oh so smitten. The smell is divine, the texture is dreamy and I am determined to master this.
I have played with including pastel between layers of wax…

The texture for carving is just sublime; I have never carved anything with such ease. I just want to spend every waking moment in the studio!
I’ll catch up with all you creative types over at Kirsty’s this afternoon. I am heading off for a site meeting with the builder now, to decide where all of the power points and plumbing will go.
