Live inspired.

I created this piece on a cradled 6″ x 12″ wood panel for an upcoming encaustic wax show.

It is inspired by the word of Kelly Rae Roberts and is a mixture of collaged paper, charcoal, oil sticks, pigment pens, mica powders, silver leaf, & beeswax. The rustic heart shape is made from vines.

Background papers are by Anna Griffin & Autumn Leaves, and the stamped sentiment is from an Angel Company set (love the typewriter font!)

This was my first attempt at painting a face. I have a lot to learn, but had a blast with this one, so hope to share more of these soon. The wings have a subtle shimmer from mica powder and a few flakes of silver leaf.

TFL,
