Encaustic workshop

This weekend I took an Encaustic Photography workshop with Nichole Dement at the Photo Center in Seattle. What a blast. Nichole is an excellent teacher - really knowledgeable and patient. I learned more than I imagined I would and am now completely excited to start doing encaustic on my own.

I worked on two pieces. This is the smaller of the two (6"x6") and includes a photo of an abandoned house that I've posted before. This example includes the photo, a transfer, incising, paint, oil pastels, and, of course, wax. The little "dots" around the orange square remind me of stitches. Hopefully, I can convince hubby that he needs to share a corner of the garage with my new-found obsession.

Light

Not much to blab about right now. Thought I'd just upload a photo. This is a picture I shot in Hellissandur, Iceland. If you love light and skies, Iceland is a great place to go since it's constantly changing and surprising.

Another abandoned place

This time it's an abandoned lumber business. Unfortunately, the entire grounds are fenced so the best I could do was to squeeze the camera through an opening and hope for the best. Taken with my Fujica 6x4.5.
