{i'm melting}

I'm melting, literally! I received my first order of encaustics today and I'm hooked! In a span of about 5 hours tonight, I finished 4 pieces that I had previously started and had waiting and then created 3 brand new pieces. Here are a couple of Instagram photos from tonight. I will post better pics in the near future.

This is a closeup of one of the pieces. The dark piece is a rusted piece of iron that I picked up during a photo walk that I took today.

Here is a quick snappy of one of my favorite pieces. I took one of my photos and printed it onto muslin printable fabric. I've also included some vintage lace, vintage buttons, and the scalloped border is from a vintage envelope postmarked 1910. There is also an under layer of paper lace to give it a rich texture.

This is a dark-ish and not-so-great shot of the whole grouping. Like I said, I will post better pics. Hopefully by the end of the week!
