Featured Artist Week: Tera's View

Hallo,
Our featured artist this week is Ching Chou Kuik and I have to say that making the choice of which image to use was a tough one - I have soooo many of her images - the first images I ever purchased from Sweet Pea Stamps were from this wonderful artist!!!
I decided to use one of my newer images called 'Night Dreamer'
I colored her with prismacolor pencils and cut her out with a Spellbinders die. I edged the main image with a gold metallic pen and added some teal colored flowers, a green ribbon and a gold corner sticker. The base of the card is a dark teal.
I had such fun coloring her.
Have a great day!!!
Tera

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.
