Will-O and the wisps - by Tera

Hallo,
    Time for my Saturday post :) - Today I used an image from Norma J. Burnell called 'Will-O and the wisps'
   I colored her with prismacolor pencils using fall colors - I am soooo in the mood for a bit of cooler weather!!!!
I decided to put her in this great 3-D frame designed by my friend Vicki for accu cuts using some pretty fallish papers and some pretty embellishments.
   I used some flowers with rhinestones on them and pulled out some fall colored rhinestones from my stash and then some gold colored leaf stickers.
The word beautiful is a rub-on from my stash - this package of rub-on's has been in my stash for more than 5 years so it just goes to show that it (it meaning my stash) will all get used eventually :)
   All for today :)
     Take Care
        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.
