I'm back! I've lost track of weeks but know this is # 10 for me; I will try to catch up. I got my feet wet in encaustic at the Taos retreat last month. I am now set up to play and this is the first piece I completed at home. I started with an old water color painting I did years ago then added wax, lace, a bit of cheesecloth, some text from an old letter. I tried spraying a walnut ink over a lace doily and found out that walnut paint and wax do not mix. Lesson learned and, because of the medium, it can become a feature rather than a flaw.
