At first the teabag image looked like a door, so I stamped enter above it. After more fusing, it looks more like a house on fire. And here I am inviting the viewer to enter. What can it all mean?

Plaster, wood, encaustic medium, original photograph, Italian potpourri, dried flower, oil, paper, teabag, Frozen Charlotte doll, and encaustic paint
I did this shrine with an unfinished plaster piece from a class I took last year. I like the sense of freedom that comes from working with an old piece where I don't feel the pressure Not To Waste Materials. I'll look at it a while longer until I figure out its story and title.

Encaustic on Wood Panel
This is one of the Wabi-Sabi wax pieces I've been experimenting with. The cup is an image that shows up in my work fairly regularly, usually when I want to be filled up with energy and creativity.
I will mention for the upteenth time how hard it is to photograph encaustic pieces. You just can't capture the shine...

These are lovely, Serena, and so interesting to look at. I know what you mean about the challenge of photographing encaustics. They always look richer in person.
