I think we both like the idea of it changing a bit each time it's shown.<br /><br />So we're going to each make a few new paintings and also a couple of artist's books. We decided that the books would be 5" x 5" and accordion bound. Other than that and keeping with the theme, we left it open. Wax or no wax.<br /><br />So I finished my first book (I'm going to do one more) the other day.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkeFNQ7_PHHk7oTSzcu0gw1oOeSSgLWnQMPEqPtYgTWFBXtSILWcfgsABZBVRAUVIM3Kp1Wy4x9PPVYhX5alJc2BS1X1K2yTAv7EQ_dGIdGszb7mqnov6Nb_dTXuYUeybcFS6KdchBGk0/s1600-h/030309+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkeFNQ7_PHHk7oTSzcu0gw1oOeSSgLWnQMPEqPtYgTWFBXtSILWcfgsABZBVRAUVIM3Kp1Wy4x9PPVYhX5alJc2BS1X1K2yTAv7EQ_dGIdGszb7mqnov6Nb_dTXuYUeybcFS6KdchBGk0/s320/030309+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311360019280168050" border="0" /></a>It's 5" x 5", copies, , vintage wallpaper, encaustic, and solvent transfer.

I will probably scrape and scratch into the wax, too. The paper I adhered to the boards is white, the imagery is mostly black and I'm also using red and pink. I'm thinking pink will be a dominant color in these pieces.</p><p>And I'm experimenting with a super-cool wax pouring technique that I read about on <a href="http://stratawax.blogspot.com/2007/02/process-of-circles-aspect-1-encaustic.html">Cyndy Goldman's blog</a>.</p><p>Images soon!</p>Deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302872722375370724noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269900512722970604.post-2757195172934010852007-03-05T09:31:00.000-06:002008-12-12T00:21:07.992-06:00in progress...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRy9NevzlVmj7t1DqoTdbiTgHLNiGOjDDVFzR-jNdWtg4rbhR4QL8ruY2hbowMrt-5zJ7wAx0pjTPgeHQgBWTSLqaGSORa9KM9g7ZE-FQwfyzrzdWmRn4r2eMWODu_B9ewWjDuuSWEhiQ/s1600-h/waxy_wip01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038463514826075410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRy9NevzlVmj7t1DqoTdbiTgHLNiGOjDDVFzR-jNdWtg4rbhR4QL8ruY2hbowMrt-5zJ7wAx0pjTPgeHQgBWTSLqaGSORa9KM9g7ZE-FQwfyzrzdWmRn4r2eMWODu_B9ewWjDuuSWEhiQ/s320/waxy_wip01.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here are my paintings in progress.<br /><br />I've incorporated solvent transfers of clipart images, dress patterns, stencils, a doily, a napkin, and the trim from a tablecloth. They're all still in progress. I want to go back into most of them - adding more imagery by transferring the clipart onto the wax or drawing into the wax and adding oil paint. I also want to add more words to some - with stencils and writing into the wax.<br /><br />The one on the far left in the middle row is the one that I poured the wax onto. I think I poured it a little bit thick. Here it is after the pour:<br /><br /><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmh4UoOKuHI/Rew45y75bSI/AAAAAAAAANM/HguJTUBh_po/s1600-h/waxy_wip02.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038464648697441570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmh4UoOKuHI/Rew45y75bSI/AAAAAAAAANM/HguJTUBh_po/s320/waxy_wip02.jpg" border="0" /></a> It was so thick that you could barely see the imagery, so I scraped away at it in spots and attempted to smooth it out again.</p><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmh4UoOKuHI/Rew5rS75bTI/AAAAAAAAANU/AtRYPaRmayk/s1600-h/waxywip03.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038465499100966194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmh4UoOKuHI/Rew5rS75bTI/AAAAAAAAANU/AtRYPaRmayk/s320/waxywip03.jpg" border="0" /></a> It ended up with a weird texture that I kind of like. </p><p>The ones in the top row all have dress patterns in them. I don't really like the pink one in the middle and will probably be scraping that off. I used pieces of a pattern and I like the other ones where I just used one large piece of pattern over the whole board. I also don't think the pink color works with the pattern pieces. </p><p>I'm a little unsure about the one on the bottom right. After I cut pieces off of the doily, I realized that there was a heart shape left behind. I'll transfer an image and maybe some text onto it and see what happens. That one was also poured, but not quite as thick. It might be a little too sweet with the pink heart. Maybe after adding some imagery and words it will change.</p><p>So that's it so far...</p>Deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302872722375370724noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269900512722970604.post-9012477684399540122007-04-01T20:52:00.000-06:002008-12-12T00:21:07.399-06:00More Progress<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRPXV9y2jY-9NxEVO46VulQz0YKSFZgRhCTGlWOm4nptE8j4uuh4YsGSLZklmY8Gooub33ZI3H5uQqkHQVyXq01bDOImx51pxOGmVpwn8e-_EaO2tCu_1d2cR00MQDWBpbAqZKKDylN-w/s1600-h/inprogress1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRPXV9y2jY-9NxEVO46VulQz0YKSFZgRhCTGlWOm4nptE8j4uuh4YsGSLZklmY8Gooub33ZI3H5uQqkHQVyXq01bDOImx51pxOGmVpwn8e-_EaO2tCu_1d2cR00MQDWBpbAqZKKDylN-w/s320/inprogress1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048660746394743106" border="0" /></a>Still working on these...Deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302872722375370724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269900512722970604.post-85476231520363107122007-04-23T09:08:00.000-06:002008-12-12T00:21:07.256-06:00Finished and ready to go<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPUxEAQjgXsnJfMnp9kzCeC2qYIafC_k_ONM0qiAoD7APa0dZP3NB0u8DaY3HCXqBT0bG_nHtTi82Vc49eAIOG0flXYTNHn_Js5es-4qPsRAyFKw9sXoaOmfLkz1AYZkhgen4nEoQ1lMU/s1600-h/waxyfinalgroup.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPUxEAQjgXsnJfMnp9kzCeC2qYIafC_k_ONM0qiAoD7APa0dZP3NB0u8DaY3HCXqBT0bG_nHtTi82Vc49eAIOG0flXYTNHn_Js5es-4qPsRAyFKw9sXoaOmfLkz1AYZkhgen4nEoQ1lMU/s320/waxyfinalgroup.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5056640779914745010" border="0" /></a>I think I finally finished up the 10 paintings in this series yesterday.<br /><br />I had some problems with the two that I poured wax on - the paper was pulling off of the boards. I'm not sure what happened - either I didn't fuse it enough or I shouldn't have poured the wax onto paper (actually, one of them was fabric) that I had glued onto the boards. It might work better to pour the wax onto wood, so it soaks in... I don't know.

But I think it will have to do with women - domesticity and expectations. Patterns symbolize the plans that we're expected to follow. The images of women cooking or being beautiful symbolize what is expected of us (by society, our families, ourselves...). I had been avoiding using the house shape, since it's so much a part of my work, but I just couldn't resist. It seemed necessary - it wanted to be there...Deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302872722375370724noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269900512722970604.post-8879550291324587572007-06-28T15:21:00.000-06:002008-12-12T00:21:04.423-06:00Trayc's Ready, too!<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">I'm posting these for <a href="http://traycclaybrook.com/">Trayc </a>because she has some image uploading Blogger issues that we can't figure out...<br /><br />She blogged about these pieces on her <a href="http://traycclaybrook.vox.com/library/post/7-days.html">blog </a>recently:<br /><br />"I have been working in my studio for seven days straight.

The paintings are done and now it's time for them to go out into the world and be what they will. There are 13 of them.

They're each about 2" x 4" or so.<br /><br />I really liked some of the things that happened on these smaller pieces. So when I found out that Trayc had made 13 paintings (she had thought we decided on 12 each and I had thought we decided on 10 each...), I took the opportunity to order some more boards and I'm going to do 3 more pieces.<br /><br />I have to admit, too, that seeing Trayc's finished pieces made me feel a little self-conscious about a couple of mine that I wasn't really happy with.

We brainstormed on a title that played on the idea of wax and came up with “Waxy Buildup : Cleaning House.” We decided to interpret it each in our own way. We posted our progress on a blog - </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" >www.waxybuildup.blogspot.com</span><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" >I decided to take the approach to this theme from the inside out. I have been doing some personal-inner work and felt that this was the perfect opportunity for me to finalize and release some of the old habits and beliefs I had gotten rid of and honor the new points of view and truth that have moved into those spaces. I chose to use the image of the woman’s legs in red pumps as a metaphor for my process of killing off “the wicked witch” in myself that no longer served me. The other elements, images, and text represent new lessons learned and ways of “being”.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 204); font-weight: normal;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" ><br />- Trayc Claybrook</span><br /></p><p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 204);font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" > When we came up with the concept and the phrase “waxy buildup,” I immediately visualized the stereotypical 50’s housewife – happy to not only serve her family and clean her house but look beautiful to boot. The subtitle “cleaning house” led me to search for imagery and words that related to housekeeping and traditional “women’s work.”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" ><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>I went to thrift stores for my supplies – old dress patterns and doilies. My imagery came from retro 50’s clip art. I used words and text that evoked the advertising aimed at the typical 50’s housewife – “saves time!” “…for your family,” and “clean and pure.”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" ><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--> These words combined with the house shape and imagery of the happy housewife create a body of work that is both nostalgic and cynical. The nostalgic images and words elude to a happier, simpler time that most likely didn’t exist, except perhaps on TV. The perfect housewife was supposed to conform to a strict set of rules and expectations.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 204); font-weight: normal;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" >– Deanna Wood<o:p></o:p></span></p>Deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302872722375370724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269900512722970604.post-13669901302826256002007-01-27T16:40:00.000-06:002007-06-28T15:44:26.130-06:00BrainstormToday, during my encaustic painting workshop, Trayc suggested that we have a show together. We decided to create new encaustic paintings along a central theme. After brainstorming a little, we came up with the name "Waxy Buildup," and even narrowed it down a little more to "Waxy Buildup: Cleaning House."<br /><br />So we're shooting for April to have the work completed. We're each going to create ten 12" x 12" encaustic paintings, sharing the work along the way to feed off each other - figuring out what exactly these things mean to both of us and hopefully influencing each other's work in one way or another.<br /><br />I'm excited about the prospect of a collaborative show and can't wait to get started!Deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302872722375370724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269900512722970604.post-32511961957900632912007-01-27T17:14:00.000-06:002007-06-28T15:44:26.130-06:00A great thing!<span style="font-family:lucida grande;">I'm so excited about doing this work.

I really like the juxtaposition of the Vermeer image and the kitchy graphic images. That's a very interesting visual comparison. I will post some of my thoughts/ideas on this next week. I just ordered all necessary supplies for this project. They will be here soon, so it's time to get my ideas flowing. </span>Trayc Claybrookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12435666627602050477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269900512722970604.post-81655493174786662502007-02-09T16:44:00.000-06:002007-06-28T15:44:26.129-06:00InspirationI have decided on the type of imagery I 'm going for on this project. I decided to really point this towards the house being the self. It will probably be very personal and cathartic work, but entertaining as well.Trayc Claybrookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12435666627602050477noreply@blogger.com0
