Encaustic work this week...

I've been working on some pieces this week for the upcoming art & craft fairs and I thought I'd share my progress. I'm focusing on encaustics using pure beeswax and found objects. 

I love using the found objects I have on hand. I remember where each piece is from and the story of how it ended up in my studio as I'm working. I'm happy to put them to use in my artwork.

Here's some photos of some finished pieces and some works in progress… 

These are part of a series of 7 pieces 
called "Natural Exposure"


A jewelry box covered in dictionary pages 
& 1946 camera, slide, & video recorder ads

Two pieces in progress, one with 1950s maps & 1940s 
travels ads and the other has vintage book pages 
and 1940s jewelry ads
