The dictionary letter for this fortnight's Alpha Challenge over at The Craft Barn is 'A' and I chose 'Abstract'.
I find my favourite way to achieve abstract is with Encaustic Art (painting with wax using an iron) so that is what I did. The letters are cut out using Cuttlebug dies. There isn't really much more to say about this page except that the colours are much more vibrant in real life and I have polished it so it really shines. I am quite disappointed at how it looks in the picture but I can't seem to get a better photo. If you have time, please visit The Craft Barn and see the fabulous Design Team pages and the other wonderful entries. Thank you so much for visiting and have a lovely weekend whatever you are doing. Take care. Christine xx

Its really lovely
You really are a master at encaustic art, Chris, this is amazing ... reminds of fronds of multi coloured coral in a tropical ocean! Anita :)
Hi Chris, I just love encaustic art ... not that I have ever tried doing it myself, but I do like watching others work their magic with the hot wax. Your page is beautiful. I must keep my open for those Cuttlebug letter dies.
When you have a moment, I'd be pleased if you would pop over to my blog where you will see something to your advantage :))
