Encaustic wax

I didn't have a chance to do much

yesterday.  For the past 5 years I

have been cleaning house for a

friend.  I hate cleaning-his house is

cleaner than mine-but he pays well.

So I looked around and found a

 piece of art I did quite a few years

ago when encaustic wax was a big

thing.  I wanted to try it so much.

So we got the wax, special cardstock,

little tiny iron, and I went to work. 

Other people make such beautiful

things with this wax.  Not me.  I did

manage to get something really cool

out of it though.  I call it "the world"

 I think it kind of looks like the curve

of a planet.  

I was also on a bead tree making kick.

Another thing I was not good at.  These

are a lot harder than they look!

Some ATC cards I made years ago for

a swap.  I was so happy with how they

turned out and now, looking back, I realize

I made mini me's a long time ago.  Who

remembers these things?

Happy Thursday!
