She does this all with oil on wood. How impressive! Check out a detail shot:

I think she’d be a fantastic addition to the encaustic camp, don’t you? See more here.

Announcements:

1) New BEE team co-leader:   As you may know, our team is growing!   In order to accommodate for the growing needs of our team, Kathryn Dart (or “Kbean“) has decided to join as a co-leader!!  She’ll be in charge of taking care of new members, the forum and helping to brainstorm ways of making the team better.  Check out her work and be sure to say a big THANK YOU for all the time she’s volunteering to help our team remain pure AWESOMENESS!  

 

2) The Encaustic forum: We have had many people sign up to contribute to the forum on our site!  If you’ve signed up and received a confirmation email, you may begin contributing.  We suggest checking it 1-2 times a week, and by all means – post as many questions, comments or blurbs about your process, your art, supplies, etc as you want!  The forum will only be as good as we make it – so go for it!  To sign in, or to sign up (if you do not have a username and password yet), go to the forum page of our site.

Our Etsy-forum: you can find this week’s thread here.  

 

3) The Buzz:  We have had a positive respond to Feb’s podcasts.  We’re new at making podcasts, but since we are a global team, have found them to be a fun way to connect with members all over the world!  We are now planning our schedule for the upcoming months.  We’d like the podcast series to be called THE BUZZ, and work in conjunction with a small written overview and some images on our team site.  Our goal is to highlight one member every two weeks, purely to show off what our members are up to and to hopefully bring in more sales!  If you have any ideas for topics, questions, etc that you’d like to hear discussed during the podcasts, please email Shannon at writeshans [at] gmail [dot] com.

 

4) Team Meeting:   It’s been awhile since we’ve had our last team meeting.  Since we are a global team, we’d like as much input from members all over as possible.  Therefore, a survey (via email) will be helpful in finding out what time is most conducive to a well-attended meeting.  COMING SOON to your email inbox!
