Saturday glorious Saturday!
It's already a gorgeous day outside.
The windows are wide open in my studio.
Thought I would show you a couple of bowls I'm working on.
Hand built plaster bowl (8.5 " across) with a layer of encaustic medium on top.
Next a layer of amber shellac that was set on fire.
It's been drying for a week, now it's ready for the next step.
Another plaster bowl (13.5" across) that I intentionally smashed,
going for the relic look.
It also has a layer of encaustic medium and a layer of shellac that was burned.
F-i-r-e g-o-o-d.
It dried for a week, then I rubbed Pan pastel all over it.
The dried shellac acts as a resist,
while the thicker areas of shellac are still a bit tacky.
Turquoise and amber are beautiful together.
This is ready for a layer of encaustic medium.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Chris - these are gorgeous. I'd like to try this technique on clay. I'm happy to see you are posting again!
More mottled yellows, like so much baked yoke. Nice.
Thanks all! I'm working on a couple of things, impatiently waiting for the shellac to dry. Hope to post them soon.
