Winter’s Promise
$325
I used flowers and other plant materials from my gardens to dye the silk, which was then embedded on a wooden
panel using encaustic medium. This piece includes an encaustic dipped and sculpted Asclepias tuberosa
seedpod and seeds, as well as rose gold foil etched Eutrochium purpureum. Here in Wisconsin, I let perennial
stalks and seeds stand in my gardens to provide winter interest and represent a promise of new life to come.
