Visual inspiration, fiber, textile structures, installation, encaustic, and always the question-does wax make it better?

Collaboration with Eileen
My sister Eileen (what do you want for breakfast) P. Goldenberg is a multitalented gal. She works in encaustic as well as a ceramic. See her website here. We are starting to collaborate...she is building the boat forms, and I am painting them. Yesterday this shipment sailed into my studio.
Today I began to paint. I'm pretty excited about this new series.
The oars will be wrapped with my text I'd love to have your feedback.
They're beautiful! They look boat-like but also a little remiscent of bugs or coccoons with the sticks coming out. I've worked a little with encaustic on ceramic - I'm curious how you fuse the encaustic without it all sliding off the three-dimensional form.
The collaboration is great! Somehow I keep expecting Jason or Tristan to set off on a journey but these boats are , without a doubt, setting sail for feminine journeys. Keep up the good work. Hugs, JimmieB.

Hi Deanna
I fuse them really slowly with a torch I got from R and F paints...it's like a creme brulee torch.
I love boat 4. Do you still have it? I'd love to see it in person. Let's talk ...
