All New 2014 Online Workshop!

 

 There once was a house....

Some are built with straw , 

some with  sticks, 

and bricks. 

This one was built with metal ,

and what?

Encaustics!

I am so over the top excited to share my new online workshop for 

2014!!

Enaustic and  Metal Journal ,

The Journey Begins.....

 

We will build this assemblage cover with 

no solder ,

and 

no glue. 

We're- Going- All- In.

 

 Oh, the wonderful textures! 

And I will show you how to get them , 

without spending a bunch of money on special tools. 

Putting on,

 taking off, 

we will be exploring 

many,

many, 

many different ways to get SUPER Fun textures,

 and Gorgeous rich, deep , patinas on both the metals and encaustics, 

combined together to

create a journal worthy of antiquitous distinction !

(yes I did make that word up :)

 

And, who lived inside  this lovely house?

I will help you discover your house's story, as we  

dive into more encaustic exploration on  such oober fun substrates for our pages!

I am just chomping at the bit to get this party started can you tell ? :)

Your completed journal will tell a complete visual ,and archival history of everyone

who lived within your house, As you include artifacts, and relics , along with written word. All 

while exploring the huge magic  of what you can create using encaustics to create wonderful collage and assemblages .   I will also be showing how to 

add  the appearance  of 100 years to some new items for instant artifacts!

 The journey all begins on  

March 21!

Store is Stocked Full With Goodies To Play With !

 What was I thinking? 

Slowing down lasted exactly 2  1/2 seconds 

until I figured out that I could solder 

with my right hand, and a few other things !

Everything is quite a bit slower, as I feel like I am doing everything backwards, 

when in reality my normal way is exactly backwards as a lefty :)

So what did I do in my  bit of down time?

I absolutely LOADED

 the Etsy store full of goodies and supplies  to play with , and 

add to your own creations!

 So much fun stuff.

Vintage,

 handmade focal pieces, 

broken china focals ...

 

and I'm still loading :)

 These have such a wonderful porcelain feel to them .

Made from resin clay.

 

Oh, and here is what I was soldering . 

I haven't really had the urge to make jewelry at all ,

since all of my best pieces were stolen a few months ago. I wasn't dwelling, or pouting,

it just seemed like such an incredible amount of time was wasted , and not having

the gratification in the end that someone was enjoying the piece you created.  I just didn't feel like doing more.

Until,

 this week anyhow.  

 Yes, 

as soon as I thought 

"oh, wait I can't do that ,"

 I suddenly had the overwhelming urge

 to torch 

and solder

EVERYTHING ! lol

 Not quite there yet, 

but here are a few diddies 

I did manage to assemble . 

 I have had these beautiful  vintage china birds I cut  for myself

quite some time ago, and just hadn't found the right projects for them .

I also did the beads made from vintage tin quite a while back , and they too 

have been waiting for a project.

 This one is quite a large focal piece.

 Definitely a statement necklace. 

  

These are little vintage salvaged 

gals great for assemblage pieces, as the top of  their heads are hollow! 

SO fun !

blessings ,
