40 Days of ... Art - Day 14 - Encaustic Birthday Cards

Hello,

I couldn't help myself I had to explore the Encaustic a bit more. I wanted to know what it would do if I added stamps to the given.

I like the effects it gives. 

I'll make birthday cards out of those samples. I couldn't fix them together yet, because I don't have varnish and I have to varnish them to protect hem from scratches. Encaustic art is beeswax and is very easily scratched, so I wouldn't trust them to be intact after postal services machine sorting.

But to see what could be the result I adhered some of them with temporary tape.

It wasn't easy pulling of the pictures because those are so glossy and rich in colours and I can't take pictures outside (it is night in Europe) so I do the best I can.

Thank you for reading my blog today and I hope you enjoy seeing the encaustic art as much as I enjoyed making it.

Have a nice time.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 12 - encaustic art 2

Hello,

So I saw that there was a slight issue with my blog and the post I did yesterday was not online, it was still in "concept". So I put it online a couple of minutes today. My apologies if you came looking for the art piece and didn't find something new. But on the other hand you'll get 2 post today.

My post today is also with encaustic art because I so liked to do it yesterday that I had to play with it again today. I didn't had the same vibrant colors than where at disposition in the fair yesterday making it a bit difficult to take in picture but the result is quite nice.

Enjoy your art time.

Hello world,

Today I went to a local crafting fair, not much of ink, I was really a bit sad about that.

But I did try something new, encaustic Art. 

Thank you for reading my blog.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 10 - G45 mini tray

Hello,

With some leftovers from my Graphic 45 Couture Collection paper I made an altered tray. It is kept fairly simple because I really want to use it. 

To use it I just need to add some epoxy gel or a few codes of clear varnish to protect the paper.

The quote is so nice, it would be an ideal tray for when you want to serve a cup of tea.

 What would you like to see me make? Anyone has requests?

Have a nice weekend.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 09 - Mask

Hello,

Mardi Grass is passed for some days now and yet I'm reverting to a mask today.

It would be perfect for a masked ball. 

I just love these Venetian mask, they are always so feminine an sophisticated.

Have a nice time.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 8

Hello,

I always like to have a bit of a stock of birthday cards because you often need one last minute.

So today I made a few of the cards that I call "The Tim Holz Cupcake goes 80's style" cards.

The vibrant layered background is so fun to make and these cards actually always make me happy.

Thank you for reading my blog today.

Enjoy your day.

Caroline
