Encaustic Melting Hearts. No, really.

meltinghearts-coakleyCan you pinpoint the last time your heart melted?  I can.  Several weeks ago when I tried to make an encaustic stenciled heart and well, as you can see, I didn’t really excel at it. I melted the lines with the heat gun.

Since Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and another blizzard is coming with a box of chocolates, I decided to melt the whole dang heart in a new painting plug-in by Topaz called “Impression” that I viewed on Mark Johnson’s Photographic Workbench tutorials which are always well done and helpful.

In real life, my heart melts every time small children say my name and ask what fun art project I’ve brought in a big shopping bag.

“Pappy, what are we going to do today?”

Have fun, me lovelies.  Have fun.
