Dianna, thanks for putting a summary together. 

Mo, when Lorraine Glessner was doing the branding demo I got chills so that is going into my work. I'm also getting chills today with the current piece I'm working on. Unfortunately that doesn't mean it's going to work in the end.

Paula, that usually doesn't happen since Joanne frowns on filming during the demos and workshops. It can be done for personal reference but not for posting online.

Lorraine Glessner does fly fast when she's talking as I found out in her workshop. Her demo was very basic but during her workshop she did some branding that I've been experimenting with. That made the whole workshop worth taking.

Does anyone know if they put up a video link for the IEC talks/workshops yet?

First off, i want to say that Mo and i had a fab time in Provincetown at the International Encaustic Conference.  I have to say that what made it fab was mostly because i was with such fun and entertaining company (Mo dayside, and then Mo, Mary Helena and her friend Melissa --from new zealand -- during non- conference hours).  As for the conference, it was interesting to see a lot of the people I've read about/whose works I've admired -- up close and personal, but I really didn't learn very much.  Mo said that she loved the workshops after the conference was over. My favorite part of the conference itself was the art fair -- going from room to room and meeting some fantastic artists and seeing their stuff.  AND we got to meet the fabulously wonderful and talented Michael Billie!    More to come as i edit some material and get my notes together on some of the talks.

I wish that the conference included workshops, instead of talks and demos. I walked out of one of the demos (advanced image transfer) because it was so basic, and most of the others were just ho-hum (except, of course, for Mo's brilliant talk on the encaustic scene in Australia). I wanted to feel inspired, or at least learn a new technique, and it didn't happen. I did think that Lorraine Glessner's demo on rusting and mulching fabiric was interesting, but she hadn't gotten it together to show many examples, saying that she uses up the stuff almost as fast as she makes it.  Mo said that she loved Miles Conrad's workshop (after the conference) on working with encaustic in 3-D.

PS Mo goes on a whirlwind tour teaching Australian workshops starting tomorrow, so she is pre-occupied with that right now!

I've been hoping Mo would talk about her experience in the states but she hasn't. Maybe it's due to all the teaching engagements she's doing. I for one had a good time and there was a lot to be ingested.

I've had this one story that's been on my mind for a few years. It was waiting for the right moment and I think I'm ready to start testing it. I've been experimenting with eco-printing and that is what I needed to get to the next step. Here's to something that I'll be proud of or the other. The not knowing yet is always exciting for me.

Hi Diana, Michael Billie, and Darlene

Maybe if you watched the You-Tube video,"Encaustic Painting by Paula Blackwell" It would help clarify "Artist Statement". Or, you could direct your questions directly to me. as I'm always happy to help.

OOpsie I nearly forgot to post my lovely painting I got from Mo.

It's a wonderful piece.  Simply done.  Beautifully executed.  I love the subtle colouring of it.

No need for a frame with that cool border done with shellac.

Thanks Mo.  Can't wait to hear all about your conference.  Looks like you're having a great time in the US.

I don't know how you can remember her name. All I remember is the lazy suzanne.
