encaustic wax cards
Some cards I made using mi
xed media collage and encaustic wax. I love the technique. I always like to have some cards on hand. The way I started this whole art thing was buying rubber stamps (because I thought I could not draw ) thinking I would save so much money on greeting cards. LOL! Well, many thousands of dollars later, I have not saved money, but I have had a lot of fun, and from cards and rubber stamping, I went on to mixed media collage, and from that I went on to actually attempting now to draw. I believe this is what is known as a "run on" sentence...... So it's a good thing.

Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteCan you explain what encaustic wax is and how it is used? Or refer me to an article somewhere? Your work is great!
Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteI like the wax work, I like your sketches even better, they just show a little more "you". Just keep drawin' you'll get better. I have been drawing for about a year now, literally never picked up a pencil to draw before that, it is amazing to see how much I have learned in that time, just doing it. I still do a lot of very funky sketches but it is usually when I don't slow down enough to really look and record what I am seeing. Have fun sketching...I will be stopping by.
I love your encaustic was work and the progression in your art to sketching and drawing. I'm going to have to see about that encaustic wax stuff.
