Inspiration board and goals……..

 

I started off the new year making my version of an inspiration board!

…..then I mapped out my goals.

I’m off and running with one of my goals….. to learn encaustics.  My friend, Thea, and I took our first class today from Pam Nichols at the Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg.  Three more classes to go, this is going to be fun!

We’ve started small and are learning how to control hot melting wax…..like trying to heard cats, I’d say.

Here is just one sample of our teacher, Pam’s work.

We have a ways to go before we have this much control over the medium, but I think we are going to have some fun along the way.
