Now where was I?

Posted by: Maria in ATC's, ATC's for All, Encaustic work

I have been busy playing! LOL Most of my fun has been at ATC's for all which I am finding very rewarding. I am learning some new techniques! Check these out...

This is what is called encaustic art which is basically taking colored wax, melting it on a smal travel size iron and making beautiful designs. Then I printed out some silhouettes on transparency film and put it over the encaustic. I love how they came out.

Almost every one I made, I have already traded. Then I got a little more bold (and watched a LOT of videos on it) and tried some landscapes.

These are 4"x6" and I bought some frames to paint and frame them in. There is a very neat art co-op near me that I would love to try and sell them in. I also plan on making some cards too.

If you'd like to see more, you can check out my Flickr Photostream to see the rest.

BTW there are actually 3 more of the Flamingo cards.
