My first projects for Tim's DT...I had a blast making these. They're quirky and a bit weird, but quintessentially me. I have to say, my obsession with beeswax continues...and I have a burn on my arm to prove it (darn encaustic iron...lol).
First project: set of 3 large tags, done with stamping & beeswax (with acrylic paint and ink thrown in for good measure in the background). Tim's supplies that I used: several different stamps, distress ink.
Second project: 5x7 canvas board. Tim's supplies used: metal numbers, patterned paper (the boy is cut from the sheet with all the old portraits). I cut out the boy & decided to invent some of his character traits...lol. I did the treatment around the metal letters with molding paste and acrylic paint & glaze. No wax on this one.
Third project: 5x7 canvas board, done with ink and stamping and beeswax. Tim's supplies used: various stamps, distress inks, grey crackle paint, clock is from Tim's patterned paper. The whole colored background is distress ink.
These are all so awesome! I particularly love the campus and the tags. They open such possibilities in my mind for creativity; unfortunately, I'm at the office today.

At this time I'm glad that I am happy with the life I have + don't have stalker-tendencies. Why? Because you are AMAZING!!! A part of me is screaming "I wanna be like Dina! I wanna create in her style!!!"
Seriously - amazing.
But don't worry. I'll stay in my beeswax free corner of the world and admire + love what you do. Thanks for sharing!!

Dina, I was just wondering: are you going to teach any new online classes in the near future?

Love it - all of it! Oh yeah, please can we have these techniques in another online class?
