Mmmmm.... one of the reasons I stick with Entrecard is that I have found some brilliant blogs which I might normally not see. However, I see what you mean.

Thanks so much for the credits Jill! Also, for your lovely comments on the paintings! I really must get my head together again and work with Entrecard more, hopefully, now I have the incentive!x

Hi, I have been away in quite awhile, several issues due to family etc but hopefully clawing my way back! Great idea to have an Entrecard forum where we can raise issues. I must admit I was unhappy the way Entrecard were going but loved finding all…

About Me and my Creativity.
I fell in love with encaustic art about a year ago and have never regretted a moment! Encaustic art? What on earth is it? Actually, it is painting but with hot wax on all sorts of mediums. Check out my blog http://artinthewax.blogspot.com or my website http://onawhimsey.com for further information!

Wonders will never cease!

Yup, wonders will never cease! I actually managed a little time to stroll through Omshanti's wonderfully smelling shop which was a delight. I have now placed an order for Minty Footy Spray which will be wonderful after a long day on my feet!

Thank you Creative Cafe for my wonderful prize for the side picture competition!!!

Really busy at the moment!

Although my first priority is my encaustic art I do have another now! My daughter and I have started our own business hiring out chair covers/sashes etc for weddings and other events in the Surrey/Sussex area for starters! Already had some enquiries and a couple of potential bookings! So exciting for us so I won't bore you all with it!!

Design Creative Cafe Side Pictures Challenge by Pat from On A Whimsey

I always love a challenge!

Whilst working with my waxes I played around with various designs and so enjoyed mandalas that I thought I would give it a bash! For those of you who are not familiar with term 'mandala' think of your childhood when you used to play with a tube down which you could view moving beads etc as your rotated the tube. This would have been called a kaleidescope, remember? Anyway, moving on! A mandala is a unform pattern that can be viewed from any direction.

The word "manda… Continue

Hi, I thought I would like to introduce myself!

My name is Pat and I live in the south east of England.

As you may have read already I 'discovered' the medium called encaustic art which is basically painting with hot wax on different surfaces.

I say I 'discovered' this medium because it was by pure chance that I heard the word 'encaustic' and curiousity got the better of me! Gosh, was I glad it did. I read up on it, experimented a little and found that paintings appeared very quickly. I love the texture and vibrancy of the wax.

Since using… Continue

Hi Pat

Well your name was first out of the hat so your Mandala picture is the first to go up in the side picture design challenge. I just spent ages changing the side around so that the joins show up as little as possible. And I changed some of the other colours on the Main page to match better. I've put your details up at the top of the Main page so have a look and see what you think. You also win $10 to spend on any members art or handmade craft. Some sellers with items for $10 are listed in a discussion in the Salesrooms group. let me know when you have chosen what you want.

Anyway I am going to write a blog saying you are the first winner and all that but need a cup of coffee and a doughnut first!

Congratulations.

Hi Pat

I have now been to your blog and applied for an advert and sent you 100 points for joining us. All very interesting stuff you have on there and it is nice to have a new member from Sussex as well. I am in Brighton by the way.

I have also added links to your blog post and an explanation about doing links yourself which I hope makes sense. You may also be interested in the Salesrooms group for members who buy and sell their art and handmade crafts.

Apart from that I hope you have a good Sunday.

Bye for Now
Jill

Hi On AWhimsey

Welcome to Creative Cafe. I have just been looking at your etsy shop and your pictures are amazing. I admit this is the first time I have heard of encaustic art and it looks brilliant. I'd be interested to know more about the techniques you use as well.

Anyway it is quite easy to do things on this site and I see you have already put up some photos. You can also change your page theme add videos music write blogs. The latest 10 members blogs are featured on the Main page and so are some of the photos. You can also start and join in groups and discussions and make new friends.

So I hope that is enough information for you for the moment. If you want any help with anything just ask and I will hope to catch up and get to know you better soon.

Bye for Now
Jill
