Hi, this is my first post. I've recently taken up EA and I'm hooked!
This is my first ever attempt and I was amazed - a creature just appeared, complete with forked tongue!!

Sal, that is amazing!!

I'm sooooo jealous of your beautiful fluid lines,.. (sounds a bit wrong, but isn't ;))

and the (what looks to me like a) noble and superbly stylised chinese dragon is gorgeous!

Welcome to the addiction that is Encaustics... You'll never leave :)

Well done. I'm looking forward to your next piece!

LOVE IT!

Thank you all very much for your lovely comments. I've been visiting this board for about a month before plucking up courage to post, and I really appreciate the warmth and advice, and inspiration.

Everyone who knows me is stunned that I 'paint with an iron' - as I hate ironing sooooooo much :groan , to the point I became a 'Flybaby' - but that's another story. :D

Steve : I am living in CHAOS ( Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) :kb: :r - my excuse is we are in the middle of having a large extension built (a self build), we both work and also run our own business, have 2 small children, an 18 yr old stepson , and I do voluntary work which takes up several hours every week. I do not suffer from 'B.O.' - Born Organised.

I came across http://www.flylady.net and am finally getting my household in order!!

I now always have a shiny sink!! And some 'me time'.

Does that answer your question ;)
