Annoucements:

1.  New co-leader and upcoming podcast!  

Our team continues to grow and get more involved, so we asked Melissa Hronkin to join us as a third co-leader!  Melissa Hronkin will have a lot to contribute to the team from both a beekeeper’s and an encaustic artist’s perspective.  She’ll be writing interesting articles (look for a new section called THE BEE’S KNEES), and will be in charge of our annual February fundraiser “For the Love of the Bee.”  To get to know Melissa more, you can check out a previous podcast, a skill share on beekeeping, her etsy shop or her blog!  Melissa also did a presentation at the June Encaustic Conference, and we’ll be sharing that with you (via Buzz Podcast) later this week.  Thanks everyone – and welcome aboard, Melissa!  :)

2.  Forums:  

There’s a growing forum on our team page, so in an effort to consolidate, look for us on our team forum, rather than the etsy forum.  You can still find us in etsy forums here (search for “beeswaxteam” in the to find us) but our focus will be on staying connected via our team forum here.  We’re continuing the discussion this week on the question “Do you have a portfolio site?  If so, is it helpful in terms of marketing?”  We’d love to hear your thoughts!

3.  One A Day project update

Although not everyone has been able to begin the project yet, 2 of our members have – with beautiful results!  Please be sure to check out members Kari Young and Melissa Hronkin’s blogs to see their one-a-day works.  Beautiful stuff Kari and Melissa!  

Summer heat and melted beeswax,
