Beeswax Workshop


I'm so excited. For some time now I've been wanting to try using beeswax in my work, but even after watching a couple of video tutorials online, I shied away from it. (After my experience with wood burning, something about working with hot wax and a quilting iron at the same time scared me) Well, Saturday I had the opportunity to take a class with the very talented Iva Wilcox. I had so much fun working on the above project (sorry for the blurry photo) I can't wait to start using the techniques in my own work.

Ebay or Etsy


I've been having fun with the woodburning and painting, I'm almost finished with these two. I haven't been listing any of my art on Ebay because I've been considering listing on Etsy instead. Those of you that have tried both which do you prefer?

Wood Burning



I bought my son a wood burning set about a year ago but never actually gave it to him-instead I opened it up recently and started using it in my own art work. After a couple of burns, I'm so glad I kept it for myself- a little dangerous for a nine year old. Ouch!
