Both are lovely Ros, but I especially like the first one - it's outstanding - so unusual and almost 3D - very very clever technique.... :thumbup; :thumbup; and the way you've framed it, really sets it off.......

Love x :wave:

Your "very old" hotplate seems to be working OK Ros! Purple Swirls is beautiful.

I CAN sell you a brand new hotplate but they are LOTS of pennies!

NICE :thumbup;

Hi Ros

Purple Swirls is my favourite but there is something about Carnival Chaos that makes me keep going back and having another look...there's so much going on. I know you have called it 'Carnival Chaos' but I keep seeing a nautical theme....hmmm I feel hypnotised by it so I have changed my mind and would say 'Nautical Noise' er...sorry 'Carnival Chaos' is now my fave....then again.....

Bottom line both are fab :art:

Being my usual contrary self, I like Carnival Chaos best, Ros :D :art: As John says, there's so much going on, and that means lots to discover :thumbup;

Hey thanks all...

Hmmmm,, I see what you mean about the nautical bit now John,,, perhaps it is the "waves" at the bottom ....

Barry,, yes, I know how many pennies they are :eek:
Only prob with the one I am using is that I cant fit anything larger than A5 on it. :eyo: But I am guessing I will stick with that one for quite a long time yet :)

:thumbup; Excellent! I particularly like the first one, Nice perspective to it!

I think I will have enough dosh to buy a new hotplate in the next couple of weeks so I am eager to try this technique out. Any tips you can pass on?

I like them both Ros. "Carnival chaos" reminds me of lots of knights on horseback, complete with lances and a tent in the background :D :D . Very midevil from my viewpoint. Funny how different people see things differently :blink: :blink: That's the beauty of encaustic art.

:wave: Ros,
In the lovely pastel one, I can see a figure, a sailor dressed in an old fashioned sailor suit. He is amongst the masts/lances, and quite big.
I find the first one makes me want to feel it, it has a tactile quality to it.
Both very good.

Maria,,

I know you are going to just love your hotplate.

The patterns on these were just made using blocks,, a torn up washing up sponge, and bits of torn cardboard.

But I am a real newbie to using a hotplate!


Di, and John

Yep , see what you mean about the lances,, Medieval Mayhem is a great name for it.

Thanks Jen

As you say, I think one of the greatest attractions of Encaustic is the differences in what people see.
