This one is 6x10", for example. The next one will be bigger than any so far, at 2.5 sq. ft.

I love lots of layers, and this medium is all about the layers. It's like I've found my best fit. Her work is amazing and I'd like to go see a show. Michelle–that’s the great thing about encaustic.

Who can blame you. This artist's work with resin always gives me the same I-wanna-try-it feeling: http://www.juliebakerfineart.com/dynamic/artist.asp?ArtistID=30&CategoryID=Mare%20Tranquillitatis%20Series. She draws/scratches/paints/adds stuff to layers of resin. They're really rich in a way that you can't see in the online. </p> <p>I've been thinking about my inner harpy lately -- she's so loud.</p> Well, encaustic does look like one of the funnest art media ever.
