I played around with the waxes and still cant quite get to grips with the stylus and i sooo wanted one when i saw everyones lovely work... suppose it will come , jin says i must `play` more! I hope I get inspired to do more , but like all of you I pan on doing so many different things... I like to surprise peeps though, we will see! Love Jenx

Just a note - if you move a pic, the link will be broken I tracked the pic down and restored the link though Steve

The whales are fantastic, but the Seals (walruses?) in the forground are really cute as well. (please tell me I'm not seeing things?) I have to say that I do admire all Encaustic pics that I see, as I really couldn't get my head around using the iron, and then found myself pretty much exclusively using the stylus 'because it behaved like a brush' Then thought I'd try WC and actually use a brush, and found it much easier.. but that's just me being odd I guess. Thanks for making me smile tonight when seeing this great pic... x Col!

I wish i could remember how i did it !! am pretty chuffed with producing a pic that actually looks like something!!!! I get days when i just cant do it and I think you need to keep at it ... Jin has taught me some good techniques while I have been staying with her this week though .... just have to remember them ... loads to learn still Col........ I also love the water colour work .. tried a little acrylic too but I think WC is my fav..... Been trying to get back into parchment work ,(it has been years!)... I even knitted a scarf before I went to Jins..... Its a fab day today here in Wilts and I have 8 trees waiting to be planted and 70 early pea plants!!! just hope weather holds for me , off to quick shop now first though , got to be done!!!! Craft shop here I come!!! take care Col, love Jenx

I must say that when I am in the mood for waxing I do enjoy it as I find it relaxing. Keep at it is all I can say .... I was someone who could not even draw stick men at school but I have found I can now draw and paint, its amazing and I am sooo chuffed!! You will be too , Jenx
