I had the pleasure of attending Kate Santucci's Encaustic Collage class last night. What a wonderful experience with the small class size and having a chance to learn, explore and get to know Kate.
My piece is a combination of wax, stabilo crayons, Mulberry paper and most interestingly, snippets from an old German grammar book.
I took her intro class a few months ago to help correct some mistakes I had been making and am looking forward to taking her Encaustic Textures class later this summer. https://www.katehusersantucci.com/

Going on over a month of no studio. But at least my temp space comes with a cat.

Not able to use any hot wax techniques right now in the dinning room. 😔

They are finally painting the walls today but no word yet on new flooring. Grrrrrrrr.

Apparently ripping apart my art studio is going to become an annual spring event. Last year the water heater flooded the room and I was out of commission for 2 months. This year, sump pump failure and it's one month and counting.
All during the rush to finish projects for art show application deadlines. Ugh!!!
