Would love a chance to win!!!  Thanks for it. :)

Jane Davies emphasises Daniella's use of what she called 'containers'... that is, limiting the parameters of your work such as palette etc. This rings so true to me as I tend to keep adding to my work, and often lose the power and spontaneity of the piece. Thanks for the tip Jane.

I'd love to have this book and dvd, I'd like to try the india ink technique that Bridget wrote about. Also would like to win the either paint set.

Thanks for the contest!  :o)

So many great inspirations.  Can't wait to read the book. Thank you for the contest.

Ooooh this book looks nice, I love art books that come with a DVD because sometimes it helps to understand better when we actually see the technique «in motion».

I love the honesty in Julie Fei-Fan Balzer blogpost about the book.

I'm curious about this «container» point of view that was emphasized in Jodi Ohl blogpost.

I love learning new techniques.  Thanks for the chance to win some of the materials!

I would love to win this book, it looks amazing! Thanks for the chance to win :)

I'm looking forward to trying India ink with my encaustic paintings.  When I first started exploring the medium, I added color with alcohol inks and enjoyed the results.  I'll be picking up Daniella's book tomorrow when I am out - can't wait to delve in!

I want to find out more about the india inks and encaustics ... I really want to try that out!

I learned from Suze Weinberg that you can use encaustics on a variety of surfaces and really experiment with them.  You can use stencils, molds, and stamps with them.  Jane did it on paper. I would love to try is on variety of surfaces and glean from the book.

I learned that I have SO much to learn! I have been interested in Encaustic art for awhile. I guess I need to read this book to learn more. From what all these artists said, the book will pretty much guide me... and then it is practice and experiment! Looking forward to it. Thanks.

I love this giveaway.  I've always wanted to try encaustics so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.... thanks!

This blog hop is a great waybto find out more about the book. I'm very interested to read what Daniella has to say about supporting your creativity through journalling. I love the fact that the book comes with a DVD too - this is good value and seeing something done always helps, particularly in encaustic where often a light touch is needed to be successful.

I can't wait to get this book!  I've had two workshops in Encaustic and just can't get enough exposure to it!  Daniella's work is amazing, too!

I've had a large bottle of India ink sitting on the shelf for 20 years, so I will dust it off and try this encaustic/ink technique!  I get excited about any new technique to use with wax.

I learned this is possible!  I have been totally intimidated by encaustics and would love to win.

Thanks so much for a chance to win!  Suze Weinberg's post about Daniella Woolf and the wax girls rocked.  But I loved that she said she discovered a love for all things waxy, "and found experimentation was a big key".  Practice makes perfect, or at least your more comfortable with your mistakes; which is so important in mixed media for me. lol

I have looked at this book, and its great! I'd love to have the set!

I have wanted to try encaustic altered art for a very long time!  I really didn't know where to begin.  THIS is exciting!!  Thank you for the opportunity to learn and to win!

Thank you for the opportunity to win! And for all the great articles.

Would like to learn encaustic art and this set would be great to get into it

I have really enjoyed reading "The Encaustic Studio" and it's given me wonderful ideas for creating lessons for the senior adults I teach once a week at a local retirement community.  At first the residents weren't so keen on the idea of painting with wax, but after sharing the book with them, they're all "fired up" to experiment!

I have always wanted to learn how to do encaustic.  Thanks for the opportunity.

I have always wanted to learn how to do encaustic.  Thanks for the opportunity.

All of the reviewers commented how comprenhensive the book was on explaining what supplies are needed and the book gave you projects you could practice the technique with. I would love to win either prize.

Would love a chance to win! thanks for the contest :)

Thanks for the chance to win!  Would love to try collage and India ink with encaustics.  Such interesting layers and texture!

I've been interested in encaustic art for a long time but way to intimidated to every try.  If I win one of these fantastic give-a-ways it would be a great opportunity to try it out.  Thanks for the chance to win.

this has fascinated me for years.  i'm more enthusiastic now

I learned from Julie F-F Balzer, that I'm not the only one intimidated by this process AND that it is just the next thing to learn. Thank.

Yup, I definitely have to give encaustics a serious try! Thanks for the great blog tour; I found some blogs I hadn't been to before with intriguing ideas and inspiration. Interweave and CPS rock!

The versatility of encaustic is amazing and wonderful. It seems truly limitless what you can do.

I learned from more than just one source that the book covers all aspects of encoustic, especially tools and techniques.

Thanks for the chance to win some goodies.

It would be great to win either of these. I would love to try encaustic.

Bridgette Guerzon Mills is one of my favorite encaustic artists, and a fantastic workshop instructor!

I love and learn from Bridgette - Her inspiration/thought processes are interesting to me and her encaustic methods are intriguing as well.  And thank you for the chance to win these generous items!      

I've spent the last several day searching for an encaustics workshop near me because I'd love to learn. I can't seem to find anything coming up or close to me in KC. Winning this would be a great way to try it out!

I learned that this looks like so much fun and that I really should try encaustic!

Great book! would love to win it

I appreciated Julie Balzer's review and sharing about her interest in trying this medium.  I have been intrigued with learning more about using encaustic methods for some time, this may just be the push I needed to dive in to experiment!

Would love a chance to win -just got the book& am ready to devour!  Thanks for this!

I always wanted to try an encaustic art project but need someone to explain the process. This looks like the next book I want to buy! Thanks for the information.

My favourite part of the ebook was the section on encaustic collage.

I learned about using containers for creating, as in limited palettes, or some other 'restrictions' to keep from being paralyzed by too many choices.

I've been interested in encaustics for a long time, but still apprehensive about jumping in. From reading the posts in the blog hop, others have been apprehensive, too.

I've gone to 3 of the blogs and think I'll be getting the book -- and how wonderful it would be to win some supplies as well! I'm a beginner so what a fitting way to start.

I love encaustics and would love to win!

I did some encaustic in a workshop and loved it.  I need to make time to do more.  I would love to win some goodies.

I've totally been intrigued with encaustic, but have had no opportunity to try it.  From the tour, I learned that it can take a while to get it all smooth.  I tend to experience success early with stuff I try, so I'll need to set my expectations appropriately.

Thanks for the giveaway!

-Jean

Would love this! Am checking out the blogs, how inspiring!!

I am inspired by this book beyond belief. Perfect to take my mixed media art to the next level. Winning the cakes or paints would be the perfect start. I'll be sure to wish on the first star I see tonight lol.

Encaustic is my next adventure. What a hoot it would be to win this book and paints. Either way I am pumped on coloring my way through encaustics. The effects of encaustics are stunning and I have to try them too. Thanks for the opportunity!

I love the versatility of encaustics.

Every encaustic piece has a richness to it

Newer pens and stylus guns help with incorporating lettering into art

Colours can be vivid and have an incredible depth to them

An amazing number of mediums can be combined in an encaustic piece

Unique images come from layering of waxes, drawing, paints, papers, inks

Sometimes encaustic art is perfect for those into creating intuitive works.

The book is full of techniques and ideas for those of us who like changes

I am in love with encaustics

Cheers to you at clothpaperscissors for offering us this chance to win!

(did ya notice the first letter of each line?). I'm trying to be creative so I can win! Tx!

I love to wax!!!  Hope I am the lucky winner!

I have primarily been a felter, making clothing and accessories but have wanted to get into some art pieces. I have made a couple but have wanted to mix it with other materials. The idea of incorporating felt and encaustic is brilliant and makes me giddy!!!!! Oh, the possibilities :D

I stopped by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's blog today, where she reviewed The Encaustic Studio. I have not tried encaustic techniques before, but having found out through her that this book is very detailed in instructions and photos, I would love to give it a try!

i love to wax!!  hope I win!!

love it hope i win

Daniella Rocks! Taking a class from her this weekend. See my Blog for mini updates on what we learned.

suzanneutaskigibbs.blogspot.com/.../encaustic-workshop-day-1.html

suzanneutaskigibbs.blogspot.com/.../encaustic-workshop-day-2.html

I started to do encaustic paitings years ago and could never find information on it so I kind of gave it up. I would love to pick it back up again now that it is gaining in popularity and this book looks like it will have lots of inspirational info for me.

I like that Bianca told us that the book has some very useful information for beginners. I have heard about encaustics but don't know much about it and wold need that information!

Thanks for a chance to win!

Enjoyed the Encaustic  blog tour! I tried making and painting with encaustics many years ago. It was really fun. I had to stop because the oil paints, and solvents were not very healthy. it is great to see the newer products and what can be done with them. The book is on my wish list and I would love to win an encaustic set!!!

The thing that stands out to me as something I learned was the use on India ink, as documented in Bridgette Guerzon Mills' post. Based on her examples and the information she included about her experimentation, I feel like I could pick up some India ink and just start playing with including it in encaustic paintings.

What made me buy the book, though, is how different bloggers named different things as their favorite part- and all the sections named sound worthwhile, from using string to imposing limits on oneself.

I have been wanting to try encaustic for some time.  Thanks for the opportunity to win!

You have done it again.  CP&S is the most informative and helpful resource that I have ever read.  I am thrilled with all the information you bless us with.  I believe that as you age you are so blessed when you can use all of life's lessons to enhance the life of others.  Thank you so much for helping me to grow in that way and enjoy the process of keeping the brain working!  This great granny is, just hitting her stride.  That is the JOY of the journey!!!!!!!

Blessed,

Peggy

What a fun thing to check out all of the reviewing artists and recognize their uniqueness with this one medium. Looks like a great way to be true to your own whims, studies or experimentation's!

Thanks for the reviews,

Cynthia

I am a textile artist with limited knowledge of encaustics. I am keen to learn more! It was interesting to see the use of the pancake maker and the processes involved, particularly in achieving texture. Very interesting.

What a fun blog hop - looking at all the beautiful art on all the blogs made me want to pull out my box of encaustic wax supplies and jump in!  Thanks for the great eye candy and a chance to win.

would love the chance to win!  thank you.

As a complete encaustic novice,  I have found this blog hop inspiring. I especially enjoyed Suze Weinberg's blog post. Not only was it enlightening and entertaining but I am in love with the idea of using wax on canvas through a stencil, sooo cool!

Davies highlighted the power of the container: limiting the amount of ideas in the art piece, whereas just allowing and everything can leave one frozen and unproductive. Fantastic!  Have unconciously done this but now I can be more intentional in my creations - thank you and look forward to the rest of the book!

Would love to learn more! Count me in!

Love to learn more about encaustic technique.

Just completed a one-day workshop in encaustic and would like to learn more with color.  Would love to win the colors!  Thank you for the opportunity to win.

I have only recently started working with encaustic, finding it so amazing, so many things to learn to get it right, but even the mistakes look great.  the book would be ofenormous value for the techniques that Daniella teaches in her book.

After visiting all the stops on the blog hop,I want to try encaustics even more. I've put my desire for playing with this medium on the back burner for so long because I have supplies for so many techniques that I didn't think I should make the investment. I would love to win one of your giveaways to get me started on what I know will be a new passion. Thanks for the opportunity.

This looks like so much fun. Need to try it.

Thanks for the giveaway!  This looks like a great book, and I hope I win it, if that doesn't sound too obnoxious.  I make beeswax candles, why haven't I ever tried using wax in altered art?  I just read a few of Bianca's posts from Luctor et Emergo, , and I like her a lot.  She reminds me of my sister.  I learned that artists are not always successful, that sometimes things don't turn out the way you envisioned, and  that I am not the only one who that happens to!  So, thank you , Bianca.  Your journal entry may not have turned out the way you wanted (I like it anyway) but you just made my day.

I'd love to get in on this~ win or not, it looks like a blast,

I learned that I am going to buy this book!  The blogs are so inspiring that I want to learn all I can about this art.  A "starter" paint set would be wonderful to win.

I would love to win !!  It would give me the "starting point" for the artistic expression I've always had within.

I've followed Suze Weinberg's journey into encaustics since she started. Her experiments led me to try it, and over time I met Bridgette Guerzon Mills, with whom I have taken a workshop. It is lovely to learn about other artists through this blog hop, and peruse their creativity with the medium. The book is definitely on my wishlist.

I would also love a copy to win these prizes! Thanks for the opportunity. I'm a subscriber to CPS Magazine and am amazed at the depth of information in every issue. Today, I learned from Dea Fischer that you can use a SKI WAX IRON to fuse your encaustic! I love that, because I live in the Rockies and there are usually lots of places to pick up the ski wax irons here. Cheers, and keep the great information coming!

I would love a chnace to win this or any of the prizes.  I had my first taste of encaustic art last year when I attended Donna Doneys Inspired workshop.  I have always had the urge since then, but have no idea how to begin.  This book is the prefect helper.  Encaustic art is such a relaxing , unique art-form.

Would love a chance to win!  Have been intrigued by encaustics and would love to try it out!  thanks for the chance.

Can't wait to receive my book.  I ordered and am anxious to try.

I LOVE Daniella!

What struck me most through the blog hop was to Just Do It. I enjoyed seeing the journal-making and book arts and that's something I need to do more: do some art every day, even if just a little. Thanks for the opportunity to win some cool stuff!

I am fascinated with encaustic and have tried some on my own. I've seen some ideas in these blogs that really get me excited, like: Rusting on paper and silk organza and Hot Wax Stylus Pen. I will definitely find a way to get his book and would love to win one of the prizes!

I tried a little encaustic last year.  It was so much fun!!  Thanks for the chance to win supplies.

Love seeing how India ink and Encaustics work together. Thanks!

This would be such a great win. I have been wanting to learn this technique for a very long time.

Iwould love to try this medium.  I love the look the wax gives projects.

Can't wait to delve into Daniella's book and all the blog hop participants, PLUS a chance to win one of these great prizes... thank you!

I purchased the book when it first came out and it is amazing!!!  The DVD is well done and a great addition to the book.  Great info and so easy for beginners to learn and grow...  For artists deep into wax, there is always something new to learn or a new way to do a technique.  Thanks so much for the wonderful blog hop, very inspiring.

THIS loooks so fabulously awesome. I really wanna get back into encaustic again, Thanks for the chance!

Would love to win!  I've been wanting to try "encaustic" for awhile.  Thanks for the opportunity!

Encaustic art is calling me!  I must be brave ane jump in soon!  This book looks like a terrific beginning... (would be so nifty to win either prize too.)  

Ohhhhh I think the R&F set wants to come and live at my studio....

I have been wanting to play with these for over 3 years now and just have not been able to order them.

Thank you For the give a ways....

Fingers crossed.

Sarinda Jones

Just left a post.... However I don't see it.

Hmmm Wondering if I hit the wrong button.

Let's try it again....

Set #2 Says they want to make my studio their new home.... :D

I will give them lots and lots of love.

Warmly

Wonderful book and DVD -- thanks for the giveaway.

the fun of using a new techniek ! and it always and in a artistic project to keep full of memories .....   and enjoying  the chance to win

I have played around with encaustic wax in some classes and would love to learn more, this book is on my must have list!

am loving learning about encaustic and it's apparently limitless possibilities! The seniors I'm working with are also loving the process, so with such limited budgets it would be a huge treat to get some waxes so we can continue to play with wild abandon! Our confidence is growing in leaps and bounds. I particularly like Bridgette's work with wax and india ink and of course Daniella.

I would like to learn transfers on encaustic!

This book would make a great addition to my very limited library. I have always wanted to work with wax. This would be a wonderful opportunity! Thank you for the contest!

So much to learn! So little time left for a 65-year-old woman who is only now in retirement able to immerse herself in creative endeavors. Of course, a paint set or two would likely speed up the learning curve.... Thanks for giving us the chance!!

I have read thru the book once and looked at the picture. Now I am reading thru it again, taking my time and trying most of her suggestions - the book is so full of ideas, etc and those ideas seem to generate more ideas.

Thank you

I really appreciated the content on adding texture along with your pallette and limiting the parameters of your work by using the container method.  Would love to win!

A new-to-me medium, I love learning!

Containers, parameters, boundaries. Yes, when everything is available, it can be paralyzing. Limits are good at times. Some of the posts were very helpful and inspiring, others honest, and others befuddling for me. Still not sure what this medium is other than wax, or what to do with it, so--obviously I need a guide book.

Just starting out with encaustics and loving it. Would be great to win; thanks for the opportunity.

What fun.  Hope I win!

This would be so much to try! Thanks for the chance:)

Jane Davies talks about Daniella Woolf's use of the Container and how that frees you up since your work has limits you're playing within. This is an interesting concept since usually the approach is that you're free when you have no limits. It does make sense, though, that being contained means you don't have to think of the outside of your piece and so can concentrate on what's inside.

Have my first encaustics class next month, so I would love to win one of these!

Opening new horizons for me!  Thanks for the chance to try something new.

This book sounds like a great reference for newbies as well as experienced artists. I'm interested in learning more about the image transfer process mentioned by Julie and Jodi Ohl.

Wow- what a cool giveaway!

Wow- what a cool giveaway!

I would LOVE a chance to win as I'm just starting to get involved with this technique.  Thank you!!

I've been enjoying Jane Davies' amazing encaustic work for some time - she emphasized Daniella's advice to set parameters with her work.  I'd love to win a copy of this amazing book - thanks for the chance to win!

I love encaustic.  I love incorporating my sculptural beadwork into my encaustic paintings.  And just about anything else that comes to mind.  This book looks inspiring.  Thanks so much.  Karen

I enjoyed the blog hop, thanks for the introduction to new sites to visit.

This book has been "calling" me for a while. Thank you for the chance to win some materials to work with.

I learned the "power of the container" absolutely applies to me. I never had a name for it but I'm finding if I give myself no limits on what project or idea I want to do they just keep coming and I can't seem to start anything (or finish without adding "one more thing")

Thanks for the giveaway. I've wanted to try this since I first saw it in one of the emails.

I'm intrigued by Brigitte's India ink experiments - it is a very different effect than what I am generally attracted to, but rich and beautiful.  I also respond to the comments on the "container" - this is something I am really working on, limiting a palette to feel free to explore more deeply with just a few colors.

I just received Daniella's book and it looks wonderful. Now I need to save up to purchase the needed supplies.  Thanks for the opportunity to win some!

I would love to learn to do encaustic! The book looks awesome! It's on my "get this book" list, right at the top! It would be great to have the stuff to go with it!

i've read and seen demos of encaustic but never tried it. looks fun. thanks for a chance to win. ruth

i've read and seen demos of encaustic but never tried it. looks fun. thanks for a chance to win. ruth

India ink and encaustic is definitely the next step in my encaustic arts journey. Love Woolf's work and would love to win some studio materials!

I liked what Bridgette did with india inks and encaustics, and scratching on text.  Looks like fun techniques to try!

I am an encaustics newbie, so it is impossible for me to narrow what I learned to just one thing!!  However, I downloaded the free eBook, so I won't be a newbie for long

This sounds like a wonderful way to learn more about encaustic.

I've never done any encautistic art but always want to.  Thx for the chance to get this kickstart.

Love the preview video. Very insightful.

I have been creating encaustic art two years now . I love this medium and have really enjoyed the blogs for this post. Will be ordering Daniella's book asap. It sounds full of info I can use and of course the DVD is a plus!

I've always wanted to try encaustic art. I think it is something I could really love. The book is something I'll have to check out.

I was excited to learn that when making a transfer using parchment paper and toner copy, while over wax the image practically slips off on to the silky smooth surface!

I like that you can use a Ski Wax Iron because I own one!  What a great give a way!  So hoping I win :)  Thank you!  

2nd Attempt at leaving a comment so sorry if it duplicates-

I was so happy to hear you could use a Ski Wax Iron because I already own one!  What a great contest, so please enter me and in the meantime I'll be hoping I win! Stacey

I never cease to be amazed by the fabulous work I see from encaustic painters. I already own Daniella's book (love it), but would love to win one of the paint sets.

Have been interested in trying encaustic work for a while now - seems llike it might be a fine alternative to AGM and glazes for finishing work.  

The sense of depth....that is what is calling my name!

I'm both intrigued and intimidated by encaustic art, so reading all the blogs & looking at everyone's artwork was very inspiring!

Jane Davies made a good point when she focused on Daniella Woolf's chapter on Putting in the Hours and not worrying about the outcome - those are words to live by that I often forget.

I'd also love to try the transfer technique with parchment & toner copies that Jodi Ohl featured in her blog.

Thanks to all the artists participating in this Blog Hop - it was a treat to read through!

This is a new medium for me; I am excited to learn and create!

I had the pleasure of taking a class from Daniella in January - looking forward to learning more from this talented artist and teacher!

I have read about this, have done batik, mixed medias of all types, but not the encaustic media.  This would be great to win, and as a semi-retired art therapist, it's always good to learn MORE!!!

Would love to win!!

Just got the book this weekend!  Can't wait to try out some techniques!

I have been wanting to try Encaustics...looks like something fun to add to my mixed media art dolls!  

This book seems to have inspired lots of great art-making. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

First, would love a chance to win!  I would love to get into waxing however, I am afraid to do it.  I'm usually not afraid to start to try a new craft or technique however, this scares me.  Maybe if I win something, it will just the thing to push me into trying this new to me craft!!!  Thanks!  Would love to hear from anyone like me but someone who has made the move and would be willing to share ideas and steps on making the transition.  Thanks again!!!

Loved the tour of the various blogs.  Oh the possibilities! I had no idea there were so many innovative ways to play and create with wax.  I learned this book definitely needs to be on my bookshelf and it's the perfect time for me to give this formerly intimidating process a whirl.  Winning one of the giveaways would be a lovely way to jump start this intention.  Thank you for hosting this tour and opening my eyes to a new creative territory.

Love the book!  I do lots of mixed media, but have not yet explored encaustic.

Winning either of these prizes is the nudge I need for jumping into encaustic art. For the longest time, I didn't quite understand what encaustic painting was. From reading the blogs and Cloth, Paper, Scissors, I think I finally get it and am ready to try it.

Love your art, Bridgette.  Like you, I am usually a loner artist... makes for very contemplative work.   Encaustic adds depth and mystery - looking forward to exploring the possibilities.

mgavitt

Scribbles, wax, color, color, color ... hmmm! Lots of inspiration, Jane.  Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

On Jodi Ohl's blog I learned about some fun online workshops that she teaches.

As I've already bought Daniella's book but have no encaustic materials, I'd love to win one of these sets.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Enjoyed reading the reviews with all the different perspectives.  They gave me good insights into the value of this book. I've long wanted to delve into encaustic techniques and this book sounds like it could be very useful.  Thanks for hosting this blog hop!

I´d love to win to try encaustic art

Setting at least a few limits can free a beginner up from what can be an overwhelming amount of possibilities.  Removing too many choices is a good way to start, then give yourself permission to cut loose after you've gotten a good start!  

Yay!  I would -LOVE- to win this!!

Sheila

ohhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! I so want to learn how to play with encaustics...I would love to win . thank you so much for all the inspiration

Kymi-vi

Oh, Boy! I have looked through this book enough to know that I MUST have it! Would be great to win stuff to go with it!

I have just ordered a hot wax stylus pen, after reading Dea's enthusiastic post about it. Living so far away - I do not have easy access to materials, so the wait is extended by overseas post, but will let you in on my excitement when it gets here! A little win would certainly add sparkle to my efforts, Diane SolomonWesterhuis (Bathurst NSW Australia).

I absolutely love encaustic, but this book has great inspiration and new techniques.  I only knew basic mixture of beeswax to resin not any

techniques.

This book is on my Wishlist!  Great contest, I love doing encaustic art!

The Encaustic Studio is one of my favorite sources for inspiration.  Thanks for that and for the chance to win.

I found Jane Davies's blog so helpful where she demonstrates  Daniella's idea about the "Power of the Container", setting parameters and limiting your options.  Her container were some scribble paintings on paper with a limited palette using lines, and repeated circles and squares.  I could really see how her creativity was set in motion.

Just returned from Art & Soul and Encaustic classes with Serena Barton. I had tons of fun and now know that I will be doing more Encaustic works in the future. Thanks for the Blog Hop and all the resources!

Excited by the abstract colors and lines in the scribble painting workshop descriptions.  It would be fabulous to win.  Thanks!

yum! hoping, hoping, hoping...

i doth covet this muchly. please place my name amongst the myriad suitors.

Two winners.  Awesome!  Hope to be one of them!

It's great to see how artists have been inspired to incorporate encaustics into their work.

I stumbled onto encaustic painting a few years ago and have taken a couple of workshops given by Cheryl Toh, an artist in Kansas City.  In the most recent workshop, I discovered I really enjoyed dipping rice paper into the wax and then applying the paper to the board.  There are so many ways that wax can be used...  So much to do, and so little free time!!

I would love to win some encaustic paints.

I have other encaustic books but recently purchased The Encaustic Studio by Daniella Woolf.  I'm so intrigued by it that I can't put the book down long enough to watch the video.  She has inspired me to try new materials into my art.  I can't wait to get started!  Thanks, Daniella for this great resource!

I'd love a chance to win; I haven't had much luck on my own with encaustics but intend to keep pushing for the results I want.

Thank you!

I have been looking for just the right Encaustic book and this looks to be it.  I also signed up for all the blogs on the blog hop.  Can't wait for the book to arrive.

Wonderful book -- I'm thrilled to learn encaustics can be used on paper! and in a book?!  Fabulous - I thought there always had to be a 'firm' support.  Also can't wait to read (and re-read) the chapter on sutdio practices and Creativity.....sounds inspiring!  

(And thanks -- you've introduced me to some great blogs, too!)

I visited Julie's blog... I'm a huge fan of Julie and have one of her DVD's. Just love her fearless approach to her art. Also learned that Jane Davies lives not too far away (Vermont) and drooled over the thought of taking her workshop! Adding that to my long wish list! Thank you for all of the giveaways that you have!

I keep coming back to the idea of trying encaustic and have bought bees wax and a heating unit. Neither have been used! I now have the book on my wish list! Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this contest!

Cheers,

Cynthia

ps, sorry about the multiple posts - :)

best guide I have and can't feel like I'm not missing something without my lifeline to Interweave.  thanks so much for being here1

Loved looking at all the inspiring works at each blog hop.   Wish I could take a class somewhere-I have been interested to try encaustic art.  

I am a big fan of Jane Davies style of selecting a few boundaries for each project.  When I am struggling with a blank canvas or a piece that is going no where I pull one or more restrictions from my jar.  Things like 'use this color or color combination,'limit materials,' or 'focus on one image or word.'  I never fail to discover ideas just by limiting my choices.  I was so glad to hear another artist does something similiar.

Such interesting content. I am dying to try this out!

Can't wait to read this book!! The DVD will only enhance my understanding. I already paint and can't wait to try encaustics! Thanks for a chance to win this giveaway! ):
