Finished Pieces from the Encaustic Workshop

Whew! 3 full days of encaustics! Today I'm in wax withdrawal!

Here's some photo's of my finished pieces, now in my living room!

This one's my favourite:

Encaustic Workshop - Day 2

Another full, fun day playing with beeswax!

Here's some of the projects that I worked on today: (sorry for the not-so-great photo's!)






Here's some other work from my studio mates:

Encaustic Workshop - Day 1

I'm taking a 3 day Encaustic Workshop with Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch....SO MUCH FUN!

Look at all these pots of coloured wax - don't you just want to dive in?!

This is a giant vat of melted beeswax. Smells so good!

Here's my pieces from day one. Tomorrow we add "stuff" to them, do some burning, image transfers, collage material.....

The last time I posted, I was about to do the "Ivory Vintage" market! Time is seriously flying by - scary! Here's a photo of the front foyer:

My table. This was my first time (this season) squeezing onto a 6 foot table. I'm used to having a 10 foot square tent to do whatever I wanted! Don't even ask about the obnoxious light in the middle!

I made my hubby take time off work so that I could go and do the 3 day workshop, so he decided to take the whole week off. Our daughter has been especially loving this, and is enjoying the leisurely mornings hanging out, reading books in bed. (Her dad has been loving it too!).

3 Day Encaustic Workshop

Since I have October "off", I'm able to have a little fun time for myself, and am thrilled to be taking a 3 day workshop with Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch.

I have to admit, this video scares me a little bit........

I'm not sure how filled up the class is, but if you're near Vancouver, and are interested, The Upstart Crow (in Ladner) is hosting this workshop.
