Each card is part of a piece. I never quite know where I am going with abstracts and find its good sometimes to just focus on one part of what I have created and use that. The colours never come out too well in my photo's, the top one is very purple - but you can't really see it. The second one is my favourite. I have some pictures left but haven't turned them into cards yet.. My husband is an avid record collector and I also still play records as well as cd's. On his travels today he bought me the Sinatra Family Christmas Album from the sixties so I am listening to that at the moment. I know, Christmas in February! I had to hear it though. I love music of all genres from the White Stripes to Dolly Parton and everything in between! I have loads of Christmas music in my collection - this one is very traditional and very Christmassy! Fabulous! Thank you for visiting and I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Take care. Christine xx
Both are really beautiful Chris, the first one looks quite mystical and the second one looks like a stream that has frozen in a winter's scene. Beautiful work! Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteHope you are all better now Christine and these cards are fab fab fabbbbbbbbbbb!!! love them and such gorgeous colours..hubby is a huge sinatra fan and he actually sounds like Bing when he sings LOL my own little crooner I call him ..huggles hun Sue J xxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Chris ... those abstracts were impressive enough just lying on your desk ... these are amazing cards! I have the same trouble photographing purple/lavender ... I always get lots of grey rather than deep rich colour. These though are very vibrant at this end! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the finished cards Chris thank you! They are stunning you are so talented! Really unusual and love the colours. We play a lot of vinyl too and pick a lot up at Charity shops, we have everything from vinyl through to I pod! Hugs Susan x
ReplyDeleteStunning colours and great cards.
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie xx
Your encaustic pieces are amazing, Chris. They looked good in your previous post but now I can see them in more I am blown away by them. They have such depth and texture and, clearly, make such wonderful cards. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Christmas Album (I can sometimes be heard singing Christmas carols in the summer!!).
These are gorgeous, and now I am glad I was late calling by.
ReplyDeleteWell done you.
And who says we cannot listen to Christmas music in February! I often have it on when I am making my Rudolph Day cards throughout the year!
xx
I love these pieces Chris. I have seen them at many fairs but have never had a go. Looks like fun.

Fabulous cards Chris, The depth of colours are AmAzing... Love them.. Enjoy your new CD... Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art, Chris. It reminds me of illustrations for science fiction. Amazing the effects you can get with wax.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your good wishes for our house move. Lots to do, but we'll get through it!

ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
These creations are beautiful. You are talented. Never had a go at encaustic art. You'll have to show me. X
Both wonderful creations I just love the abstract designs you have made. Very clever. Hugs Sandra X
ReplyDeleteThe colours and shapes are mesmerising. I love the effects you can create with this technique.
