The encaustic class blinked by last week again. But so that I could start working with the wax at home, I thrifted a vintage electric skillet (to keep the wax in liquid while I work) and invested in a heat gun (which fuses the layers–a tutorial to follow soon). So, I’m sorry to all the spiders and cockroaches and trolls and whatever else crawls the garage floors at night: I’m moving into your space.
I almost finished a piece last week that I want to share, but instead I’m offering a quiet picture (above) of five minutes before class ended, a leaf, and some leftover wax. It reminds me of the ladies bathhouse atDeep Eddy:

Back to painting. I’m back in the game! My second commission of the summer (and a curtsey to Tonya!).

  1. Congrats, Steph! But we all want to see your first commission! Enough of the modesty–I know I’m not the only one who would love to see it.

  2. Can I please commission a leaf from you? Seriously, maybe I’m art deprived… but that looks totally awesome, bath house reference or not.
