I like every step of this process, but here's where it really gets fun!

Having a little Gyotaku encaustic fun in my studio today.

Two very small and one medium small octopus are thawed, washed, and wrapped in old terry cloth towels awaiting their transformation into art. Weather is perfect for setting up outside.

This is my first Weebly website blog post, created on my iPhone. Maybe I'll be more likely to keep up a blog if I can do it in the middle of the action. This photo was taken in my backyard. It's my newest piece, a 24" diameter octopus gyotaku encaustic. The cool tiled fish was a housewarming present a few years ago from my best bud.

The octopus doesn't have a title yet. Any ideas?
