I am so glad they made it in time! Mail is so slow here in Ohio, but it seems to be picking up!

Here is my last card for the swap, ribbon rainbow and white felt cloud.

My cards, all encaustic wax painting.

[CiCiCreates]

Those are just so cool!! I’ve always loved encaustics, and never learned how to do it. I even have a tiny craft iron I could use, according to one tutorial. Did you learn hands on, or through a tutorial?

[mrubyjean]

I'm definitely still learning!
But I was lucky enough to have taken a hands-on class specifically on encaustic painting on ATCs many years ago (when I lived in Seattle). The instructor demonstrated techniques with this little heat tool that has 4 different attachments (and which I instantly bought!).

I also have a couple of books, both by Michael Bossom -- Encaustic Wax: How to paint with wax and The Encaustic Art Project Book.

[CiCiCreates]

Thanks for the info! The book sounds interesting.
