You do the most incredibly beautiful encaustic work.

I remember doing a project once and needing liver of sulphur. We could never find it here so made a different effect. I'd love to talk to you some day about using this stuff! "Beautious" work.
My word verification is "Flusnot"...do you think that's flu...NOT or Flu snot! LOL
Amazing piece. I have always had this thing for keys, I think they can have so many meanings and can stand for a lot of different things.
this is such breathtaking work... i love what you've done...the key is really the icing on the cake...beautiful!
Fantastic work Nancy! I always enjoy seeing your work.
Ooooh! I like this one very much! What do you do with these pieces, Nancy?
I love this one!
oh. wow.
your stuff is soo very intriguing, Nancy!
and yes... where do your pieces
come home to live?
wonderful work!
peace~
