Encaustic landscape III

November 29, 2021November 22, 2021 Sarah

This is the third encaustic landscape I have made. The first one; I made that one for myself to try out my new iron and waxes (why start with the basics when you can try to create a finished piece first time). The second one; I made that for my brother's birthday and decided then… Continue reading Encaustic landscape III

Space​: 1999

September 3, 2018January 5, 2023 Sarah

I put it to one side, thinking that it would probably end up… Continue reading Flowers from ink

Rainbow fish

June 25, 2018January 10, 2022 Sarah

I've been thinking about alternative uses for my colouring – I enjoy making cards but I do have rather a large stash and if I'm not careful it will spill over into a second box. So I've been thinking about making things to be framed instead. My main concern with doing this is that Copic… Continue reading Rainbow fish

Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in London, UK with my very techy other half. When I’ve got the energy, my days are spent getting crafty and trying to remember to blog about it.
