Been up since 4am

It's funny as last Saturday I was up at 3am all excited to open for the Open Studios and this week 4am.

Last weekend was fantastic! Saturday we had a stream of people through our home, had a nice lunch with friends and we ended up rarking it up through the night.
Sunday I got to have another lunch with more friends and caught up with people I hadn't seen in ages!

I got my photo in the paper on Monday which was cool! The papers have been helping the open studios heaps this year which is really great to have their support.
Bring on today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mum and I went over to Palmy on Tuesday and had a great day we went shopping in friendly Feilding and spent heaps of money at FPC Art Warehouse and then headed over to Palmy to hang out with Nana. Below are some photos I took of Nana's photos that we went through while we were there. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA for yesterday. I finally visited my friend Ness and checked out her home whcih they had bought about a year ago, I can't believe I hadn't been there before Tuesday, it was great to see her.

I had a workshop on Wednesday sponsored by the FPC Art Warehouse and it was such a lovely morning! We got through everything I had planned and they went away with a painting all glossed up ready to hang on their walls. It looks like they will all be back as they enjoyed their time here. I'm think I will have another workshop next week as there were 5 other people that didn't get to come who wanted to.

I went to see Vanessa yesterday and we all thought she would have had her baby yesterday as he has dropped and the midwife was certain that he wouldn't be far away, maybe today? It's so exciting!

My message for the day was: You have much to offer the world, Dear One! You are multi talented beyond your scope of understanding.

Art Every Day Month Day 7 - Encaustic Wax

I'm really enjoying blogging again, it's been years since I have written everyday. I used to do morning pages before I got pregnant, I have heaps of books full of my dribble. The Artist Way by Julia Cameron got me into the morning pages! Every artist should own a copy of that book! 
I was talking to a friend yesterday and she wanted me to order her a box of encaustic wax. I haven't done any encasutic for such a long time, so today was the day to dust off the cobwebs and get melting. 
Here are my 2 creations for the day...

Releasing my MADNESS! 

Getting more into it without distractions

Don't you love the texture wax makes!
I have been looking for my cutter cause this card is too big and I just can't find it anywhere. 
Here are some other pieces I have done, in the past with encaustic wax.

This one was done with the iron on card.

Finally life is back to normal

Today is the first day in nearly 2 weeks that we have back our happy little singing girl. Nothing worse than a sick child! It makes you realise, on days like today, how lucky we have it.
I got a lot done today I started painting a series of affirmations paintings for our house. It will be nice to be surrounded in positive words when we need them. Called into the recycling centre and the supermarket. Gave shit to plummer Dan when he walked in on me cleaning the shower and chatted to the builder who is fixing our bathroom floor. Caught up with Chanz, Mum and Lyn. Got my 4 artist trading cards ready to send off 2mora for the next trade. Bought a Norfolk pine for our Christmas Tree, potted it in a lovely pot and decorated. I also split up one of my plants that I have wanted to do for sometime now but had ran out of potting mix. I got a shock when I drove into the Springvale Garden Centre it's FLASH! They have a kids play area, I have never been to a garden centre with a playground in …
