My type of ironing!

Morning,
Friday has arrived after a very busy but fun week in which I appear to have conquered my ironing phobia! Lol
This ironing I like to do and so it would seem do many of you..
The art of Encaustic Wax and using a craft iron.
Many of you have had the kit buried away since the very early days and since the reappearance on Hochanda recently the craft has had a real revival.
Others of you have purchased more recently or intending to very soon!
After some play time with Encaustic Art myself and running the Make and Take session on Wednesday I was eager to use the technique for some clock faces after the other samples I've done recently.
Oh my I just love it, 10 min clocks, oh so simple but oh so abstract and arty.
Can't wait to do more...
If you haven't tried it yet you simply must, it's quick easy and enormous fun!
Thank you for your visit today, happy crafting and ironing!

Waxing that's good fun!

Morning everyone,
Yuk! It's very damp and grey here this morning and I'm just heading off to Mum's care home, I do hope the M25 is kind to me.
Hope you're week is going well.
On Monday I unpacked and tidied from Sunday's workshop, packed and posted orders.
Tuesday's was another packing and posting day along with getting things together for the Make & Take session yesterday morning.
It was a hive of activity, Lisa joined us before heading off to work, nothing like playing with wax to get your day off to a good start!
Even Krisha from the tea shop managed time, between serving tea's/coffee's and delicious treats, to have a play.
Apart from Maureen everyone was completely new to Encaustic Art and this is what they all produced.
A great morning was had by all creating wonderful waxy masterpieces!
Hope you have a good day and as always big thanks for popping in.

Crafty Play

Morning everyone,
Hope your week is going well.
My feet didn't touch the ground yesterday and although today is not quite as hectic, it's busy enough.
Off for a blood test in a while, good to get that over with early on!
Then off to post out some orders and sort some displays of my crafty bits for sale, seeing what new stock is needed. Clocks, gifts and cards are proving ever popular.
In between time I'll be getting ready for Sunday's workshop.
Yesterday was a bit of early crafting at The Meeting Place, it was lovely to meet new member Sandra who has decided to join us on Sunday too.
I then was able to have a play with some Encaustic Art which my friend Maureen has been doing recently.
Her samples she's bringing on Sunday are fabulous.
I knew I'd love it, oh another crafty technique to play and have fun with! Yay!
So we're going to have a session on this at our Christmas Festivities workshop in December, should be great fun!
I contacted Michael who does the Encaustic Art on Hochanda, I mentioned how fascinated I was when I use to watch his shows on TV in the early days, he's so helpful and inspiring.
Well that's my catch up for this morning, hope you have a good day.
