Tangled roots

Hallo,

   Well, that's the title for now anyway. This is what happens when you find a chunk of wood laying on the side of the road and it  challenges you to make something with it. (first pic - measures about 6 inches wide by 22 tall and 2.5 inches deep)

  I made the tree with paperclay - second photo. Then I added a few plaster strips on the top half - 1 for some extra strength and 2 so I would have a white background to paint on(third pic) 

  Then I painted with encaustic paint and added details with encaustic and a hot pen.

  Fun little experiment - will go to a show at Artel in Pensacola in a week or so.

  Take Care

Dragonfly Dreams

 Hallo, 

    A quick post today with another cyanotype and encaustic painting, I started with a cyanotype and colored portions with pastels. I glued the print to a cradled wood panel and added encaustic and more pan pastels in layers with the encaustic. 

  On the left side I built up some interesting texture and added some silver foil. 

   The dragonfly is one of my photos that I printed out onto tissue paper and added the blue/turquoise/purple with a fine tipped hot pen.

  I was pretty please with how this one came out!!! Course I love dragonflies!!!!

    All for today - Take Care
