The wax has completely intrigued me and I become so consumed with the process that I forget how hot it is! Bees are here but not bothering me, it's the mosquitos I can't stand (and I use bug spray before I go out, too). The tin roof definitely creates ambiance, all kinds. :)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-47644222620312069252010-07-13T08:55:21.363-04:002010-07-13T08:55:21.363-04:00Beautiful country.I love Louisiana, but not the he...Beautiful country.I love Louisiana, but not the heat. It's worse than we have here in Georgia and that's hot. I can't imagine working with encaustic outdoors in such extreme heat. Do the bees bother you? Love the setting, the porch, tin roof, etc. It's the scenario of all the novels I love and brings back memories of a weekend I spent with an old flame at a fishing camp in Pensacola.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-43358345468696971292010-07-11T09:58:03.229-04:002010-07-11T09:58:03.229-04:00Hi Don -

I haven't had much time to work on many of the techniques I learned about at the conference, but having to adjust to using gas without temperature controls has been my biggest challenge for now. I guess there is no rush, right? (although I do have several new works in progress) <br /><br />Yes, the tin roof is quite a trip when I am used to my city noises and busy street sounds! Gotta love that nostalgia. :)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-22372703089004560902010-07-11T02:47:34.478-04:002010-07-11T02:47:34.478-04:00I'm sure this has been a great adventure for y...I'm sure this has been a great adventure for you, aside from the fire ants you mentioned on FB... Your comment of the rain on the tin roof caused a moment of nostalgia for me. Thanks for that.<br /><br />So, is the gas griddle what was available for you there, or are you adding it to your encaustic arsenal?<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.com
