Work In Progress

Well I haven't done a beeswax collage in months and since it is FREEZING out (literally) I decided today would be a good day to heat up the wax. Took me awhile to get warmed up (no pun intended) since it had been so long. It's a completely different medium and the pieces of paper change when you add the wax--darkens them, makes them more transparent, etc--but I got back into the swing and here's where I am so far.



I'll keep posting as I progress.

Design Ideas

I've been talking with my dear friend and Muse, Lucie Duclos, about using some of my art as designs for a product line of cards, journals, etc. So just for fun I worked with some of my pieces to see how they might look, and voilà! This is just the bare bones beginning without additional design details but I'm excited by the possibilities and inspired to keep on creating!
