I finally tried Encaustics

Thanks to my friend Jamie Ribisi (http://www.jamieribisi.etsy.com/) I have tried my hand at encaustics. (She sells a GREAT tutorial and has the paints you need to try it yourself!) I have wanted to explore this medium for a while now, and after my first efforts, I have to say, I'm pretty confident I'll play with them again. So much fun! Thanks Jamie, for your tutorial and paints!


I will be sealing these paintings with resin and making pendants out of them to sell in my Etsy shop.

Valentine's Day is Quickly Arriving

Valentine's Day...Romance...kisses...love...jewelry....what a great day......

Love, country style.....

Bamboo tiles, decoupaged on both sides with LOVE....

I love this one with the soldiers on both sides...being a military wife, I know how bittersweet the partings and reunions can be....

For more Valentine jewelry, check out my Etsy shop: folkarttree.etsy.com.

Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day with those you love.

Merry Christmas everyone!

We had a blizzard here the last day or so...makes it look so wintery!
