(Open to PaperTraders Members only )

Beeswax Encaustic- 4 for 4 - ATC Swap

Theme: Butterflies 

Technique: Encaustic Beeswax

Host: Cathy Calamas

    There is a wonderful artist who lives in western NC who uses the wax encaustic technique in a lot of her paintings. Whenever I am in Asheville, NC ( a wonderful arts community) I go see her displays at the Woolworth Art Walk. I would love to one day own one of her originals but for now I will have to be happy with a print.( I have a print of the nest of eggs that is on her home page.)

It is a technique I have always wanted to try and I am always checking to see what is new on Youtube about it. Wax encaustic gives your art a wonderful, touchable, aged and soft dimension.

So I have decided to host a 4 for 4 ATC sized swap using this technique. The theme is "butterflies" which is a good Spring theme after this hard, long Winter. ( yes , even in SC, its been long).

 Due date for the ATC's will be April 8th, 2011 to give everyone plenty of time in case you are participating in the Word Challenge Journal and/or the Spring Banner Swap.

Happy Waxing!!
