encaustic class

getting back into a routine is a great feeling

i've always felt that creating art is my form of therapy

and since my surgery i've wanted to do something that

represented my spine

so last week i got the idea for using railroad tracks

luckily there is a hobby store close to my home

once i chose my color palette the rest just fell into place

i just started creating texture

layers of wax and then scraping, back and forth

until i achieved the desired effect

once in a while i used my iron

im happy with the results
