I've always been a fan of the flower queen anne's lace - and any other ethereal bloom like it. From the delicate blossoms of this bloom, to the light-as-a-feather bloom of sea lavender, I just love this type of blossom. So, I thought it was about time that I carve one to use a block print.
This Encaustic collage above is the result after carving the block and printing it directly to the luan wood panel. That way, I can get the crisp lines of the block print, while still savoring all that woodgrain yumminess. Yes, I said yumminess. I love wood. Can you tell?
Anyhoo, this is my final post this week as I get ready for the annual Alberta Art Hop. It is this Saturday, May 16th from 11am-6pm. Imagine nearly 20 blocks closed filled with art, music, merriment. Now, imagine this with clear sunny weather in the upper 70s. Yeah, I'm talking near bliss! I will be on the block of NE 26th St, on the north side. Come see a full booth full of new handmade Encaustic paintings, collages, prints, woodblock prints, hand printed journals, and even some fun embroidered and appliqued baby clothes! I'll be there with bells on waiting to say hi!
