Encaustic paintings

Besides making dolls, I like to paint with different mediums. These 4 x 6 cards were painted with wax and an iron. Encaustic art paintings are made using a hot iron to melt colored beeswax onto the base which is then applied to the non-absorbant surface, creating beautiful abstract and fantasy art. These will go up on ebay in Mid-April.

A wooden doll to be~SOLD

Thought I'd gather the materials for my next doll. She is starting out with a gourd head that will be covered with paper clay. Her dress will be the original wooden base, arms made of wood dowels and fabric hands. Can't wait to see how she turns out. Hope you'll check again in mid-April once she's completed and ready to go on ebay!

Here is the doll with all the pieces put together. Her head is made of paper clay over the gourd, she has her wooden dress, wooden arms and painted muslin hands.
