Another photo shoot with Dana and Rebecca. It turned out great. This is Dana's (Eclipse Productions) short of the photo shoot.

Well, I just got my new (new to me) Polaroid camera! I'm very excited about it. Really.
I think, since I remember seeing one as a kid, I always wanted to play with one.
The way it spits the photos out, and you wait and you stare at it for 3 minutes watching it come to life from red shadows until is all clear and beautiful. Even though I used to develop my own photos in dark rooms, this is still way more fascinating.
Too bad I waited until they don't make it anymore...

The photoshoot filmed by Dana Ferguson for my new mixed media series.

The beginning of a beautiful friendship between photography and encaustic on multiple paneled surface - I just finished this morning the triptych I am submitting for the Northern Exposure show (an annual exhibit here in Escanaba, Mi at the W. Bonifas Arts Center - it's an awesome show btw, high quality works!) After a lot of pondering and experimenting it turned out great and marks the beginning of a new series for me.
The amazing qualities of the encaustic (beeswax) just give a new dimension to the image. The pieces measure each around 24"x 30" (they are all made out of 6"x6", 8"x8", 12"x12" and 4"x4" combined panels) and I am looking forward to work on a larger scale- life size.
