Experimental encaustics and beeswax collage. Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Circles and and Snow and some New Ladies. The whole of Le Cirque de Reves if formed by a series of circles. Perhaps it is a tribute to the origin of hte word "circus," deriving from the Greek kirkos meaning circle, or ring."- Friedrick Thiessen, 1892.from "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern.

Experimental encaustics and beeswax collage. Monday, January 26, 2015. Dangerous hobbies and naming the characters. Along with working on pieces, I have a sketchbook or sorts to keep notes and ideas. I am working on names for the people in the images: Cecil the beekeeper, Irene with the Zebra and Ruby the lion tamer. If I build characters perhaps the story will emerge. I also plan to take a writing class at the CCCAC in March. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Artists and the theme of bees.
