Day Eleven

Ok, the weekends are tough because I'm usually so busy and I try to avoid technology as much as possible...I almost forgot about posting this! Before I head off to my evening adventure I'll post this piece, it's an old one...my very first encaustic actually...tiny format and it was created during an encaustics workshop...(in case you're just tuning in encaustic medium is a mixture of beeswax, damar resin, and pigment...or sometimes no pigment) It's a wonderful medium to play with but difficult to control, so you have to leave your expectations at the door when you're first starting. This one is a mini collage with some of my other artwork, an actual juniper branchlet, and print-outs of a haiku I wrote. I don't love it...but it's historical for me, I guess.
