Fun with Mixed Media

While we were clearing out the garage before New Years, I found a soft doll I'd started to make 20 years ago. She needed a face and some clothing....So I finished her. Now she is my studio muse!

And I've continued to play with mixed media. There are encaustic, acrylic, various inks, and embossing powder on canvas board. Just for fun. It's a little tricky to get the heat gun on the embossing powder when you do the encaustic first!

What a find! It inspires one to clean out the garage : ) She's very cute and I love the colors and patterns on the second two pieces.

I am so glad that you finished your Muse doll. I'll bet she is too. I have a teddy bear and a cabbage Patch doll who are my muses. Your paintings are great!

I love your encaustic paintings, especially the top one with the pink bird image. You make me want to try this! Thanks for sharing! :)
