Burn, Baby, Burn
I’m making a real effort now to get back into doing art every morning. I still love encaustic painting, and I’ve gotten a book now on doing mixed media with encaustic. We had touched a little on this in my … Continue reading

This is Why I Spin
Yesterday I wrote about how I just started experimenting with some new fibers, and ended up with a gorgeous hand-carded blend of two colors of BFL-Silk with some sari silk. Today, I swatched that yarn. I’m.In.Love. I think it’s my … Continue reading
