I had another post on the burner and then this popped up in my email.

Swoon.

My studio guests this afternoon went home with Undeclared Boundaries.  It was a lovely visit and I forgot how energized I get having people in the studio and sharing my enthusiasm for encaustic with others.

We smelled the cupcake shaped medium.  Played with the torches and marveled at how many brushes I have!  I showed them how to buff the surface with a clean cotton t-shirt and reminded them to dust the top of the frame occasionally.

Within the time it took me to have lunch, a cup of coffee and some journal writing they did this!  My heart was singing.  Their visit splashed some water on my warm weather lull and reminded me why I do what I do.

If you find yourself in a lull

a) pull up your origin story and sit down for a tale.

b) share something you love with someone else.

Guaranteed pleasure bomb.

XOXO,

Francesca
