Aluminum foil was
the answer. I
carefully attached

pieces of foil around
each burn area to
protect the other
wax areas from

melting or starting a
fire. In the end, I had
to lay the sculptures
down, and as the

shellac burned, I
slowly turned them
to avoid having the
melting wax run off.

Miraculously it all
worked!

This series was a
work of love; pieces
that reflected a
lifetime of studio

practice.

I was honored with Best of Show for When Women Were Birds in
