Lavender + Mulberry.
Lavender is one of my favorite colors and essential oils! I mix lavender with paint in my metal studio. It’s a win/win because I love the smell and it has healing properties in addition to helping with scraffito techniques. Playing with repetition today.

Mustard + Maroon. Which do you like better?
Fun fact, mustard (the condiment, not the color) is great to have in your encaustic studio in case of burns. Slather it on immediately to ease the pain and help healing. Can you tell I’ve got experience with it?

Creating with words! Coming up with new stories is my happy place. Revisions? Not always my favorite. However, working with feedback from my critique partner makes the work SO much easier.

Begin Between @choosejoystudio invitation and Set

Begin

Between @choosejoystudio invitation and Seth Godin’s words of inspiration in The Practice, I’m getting the message.
 Creativity and kindness make a difference.  We can’t ignore the things that are wrong, we’ve done that for too long. We work. We come together in community. We gather in love and kindness and we do the work together. We seek. We make. We do. We love. We mend. We build.
