Day 27

Straying away from my normal nature inspired pieces for this one. I did not want to cover up those burnt circles as they had a worn and tattered look to them. Adding in the vibrant blue and some more circles really brought the whole piece together.


Days 28 & 29

A few notes on safety and encaustic equipment. First, I am very aware of where the flame on my torch is at all times and make sure that my space is clear of clutter. Second, I have a fire extinguisher that stays in my studio and is within reach just in case. I also make sure that the studio is well ventilated.
