Preparing for 2015 - the encaustic studio is ready!

My encaustic studio

  I am very excited for 2015.  I spent New Year's eve making a new website (it's almost done), and over the last couple of months we've done some smallish renovations in the encaustic and framing studio which should be very helpful.  Now, instead of a large box fan in the window when it's zero degrees, I can just turn on the large ventilation fan you see in the picture.  I can still hear my music when it's on, and it moves along a track for a little flexibility.  The original cabinets are now gone, which upon removal, revealed some interesting pack rat activity.  Imagine our surprise when about 5 lbs of pet food fell out from behind the insulation when it was torn out.  As much as I'd love to have our two dogs Cornelia and Vincent in the studio with me, there isn't enough room for them, and me, so they will stay in the house (and mope, sleep, eat, and wait) while I spend most of my time in this studio.  Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year!
