Mixed Media-Inspired

On Thursday last week, I took a mixed media class, taught by Arleigh Wood to see if i could inspire my writing. It made me think in textures and layers, which is much like my writing. I layered a photograph with washers, protractor and then scratched engineering equations into the wax. Producing a new piece of writing wasn’t the goal, it was to be creative in another genre again, something I need to fuel my writing. Now some friends and I are planning our own encaustic workshop November 17th in Danielle’s garage. If you have an old electric griddle, let me know! Oh, and if you haven’t been to the Eastside Culture Crawl (Vancouver), mark November 16,17,18 and be sure to check out Arleigh’s studio.
