encaustic

one of the many paintings i completed last month

during my week away

my color palette seemed to keep with blues

with a touch of green

some grey and white

with a bit of chocolate brown

below, some details of the texture

wire and beaded necklace

what to do with your leftover beads?

all you need is a little bit of armature wire, which I formed into a heart

using 28 gauge wire I started at one end adding beads

 and wrapping around the heart shape

it's amazing how many beads your can use!

this one will become a necklace
