Hallo,
Todays project uses a beautiful image from Eny Guerrero called 'Fancy Boceto' .
This image reminds me of Mardis Gras and I started out planning to do her in purple but the pinks and maroons just kinda fell into my hands instead :)
I colored her with prismacolor pencils and cut her out with a Spellbinders die. I edged the main panel with gold metallic pen and then layered it to a maroon panel. The base is some pretty scrapbook paper with a big pink flower on it and then I added some ribbons and some gold corner stickers and a couple rhinestones. I thought about adding some glitter to her mask but decided I liked it the way it was - so now I will have to do one in purple with a glittered mask LOL :)
All for today - Take Care

I am about to adventure into the life of Retirement and am looking forward to significantly more time in the studio, playing with my Grandkids and traveling now and then with the hubby. I have spent 41 years as an RN - mostly in Critical Care. I picked up painting and more formal art again when my kids went from High School into college. I have always done some form of art, even in the busy years of Career, Mom, Military wife - mostly in the crafty forms(sewing, rubber stamping, its a long list...) Now I mainly paint with encaustic wax. Encaustic is an ancient art form from Greece and Egypt that uses beeswax, natural tree resin and pigments. Encaustic is painted while melted in thin layers and every layer is fused to those below with heat( I mostly use a torch). True to my 'normal' self I have 3 or 4 other hobbies that keep me busy too , and you will be seeing(and have been) those here too.
