Darn...only available right now on Apple products. Android version is down the road.

Oh! This is good news as BlueSky isn't working as well for art stuff it seems. But that could be just that not many of the artists i follow on IG are here.

I wondered if that might be it. Can't imagine wearing a respirator for hours on end but glad you are protecting your health and back doing encaustic!

Nice to see you back working in encaustic (have followed you for a while and wondered why you left it!)

Lovely image. You might want to try avocado skins and pits to get some lovely pinks (upper right corner of this piece). This piece also includes 2 bleached ones (different amounts), 2 toned with fenugreek (different levels of bleaching first), and others with black tea, coffee and matcha tea.

Do you find a cool or warm surface works best?

Yes, i have done that too. But often, unlike IG, when i go to the artists page, I see they are also using their account for a LOT of political and news stuff. Tis important stuff, but not what I want to see when i am perusing for art and inspiration. I set up a separate account for that world!

Thanks! It helps find others!

Absolutely! Love the textures and colour variation. Often my first layer is a wet cyanotype, and sometimes it is then bleached a bit to get more yellows and oranges (and then greens) before recoating and exposing as a dry one... if that makes sense. Some have three exposures overall.
