Two new from me

This one is pastels,stamps and ink plus collage images fro wednesday stamper challenge




















This one is an encaustic work which i did in gold and silver wax and added daisies

Oriental Encaustic

This is one i made on encaustic background. It was as often mine are, an experiment and an adventure. Could i combine the wax and alcohol inks on a background ? Could i use stazon ink on the wax and would it work ? How would i make an image stick to wax ?

Well .... I worked the pattern in wax then scraped my pattern. I then dabbed with alcohol ink and wiped which gave the lilac colour. Then i scraped more to give the white.
I then stamped the curly leaves in purple stazon. It dried and stayed.
Lastly how to stick my lovely oriental lady? ... Simple. I just heated the wax again with a heat gun and immediately pressed the image down into it and left to dry.

Hope you like my oriental experiment with wax
It is created for the Lots to Do challenge which was including a stamped image on your work.

Fairy number 2

So all those intentions went with the wind ... one fairy a day ? Hmmm well i should have checked with life first, that was just a bit too optimistic. I shall have to do catch up with the fairies as i go.
I have had the most busy weekend and found it impossible to get any time to play until today and even today has been hectic but i have spent the last two hours finishing my book fairy which is a collage on encaustic background.
