experimenting........

......and yes, I've decided to embrace the new 'dynamic views' templates - I mean really!, for an image site like mine these are truly wonderful - I have lost my sidebar, but realized I can use the 'pages' option to post some of the other info I've used the sidebar for (still under construction so check back) and and I'm sure the new templates will add gadgets in the future, so I experiment - but what I really wanted to share is how much I'm loving my new 'wax' knowledge - AND I've added a new tool to my fav things to work with - a little torch! oh, man, do I love this - that little blue flame does stuff that just thrills me - Karon let me use hers last week and I fell in love! a whole new frontier - I'm experimenting for the next few months with wax, oil and flame on board and paper - so much fun! The first photo is the first experiment with bees wax and oil on board - I have so many ideas I want to try, so expect to see alot of experiments in the next few weeks.......
and this is a photo of my new little torch - if you've thought about getting one, and haven't done it yet, do it! today!
the weekend looms, have a good one every one!!!!

Jeane funny things are happening with your comments box - it will be google for sure - the words do disappear when you click publish!!

If this doubles up delete one - but your work with your new torch looks amazing - can't wait to see what else you do!!

Also you are very clever to come up with the use of pages to replace what you have lost off your side bar - you have set the pace now you realise - well done!! Cheers - here's to a good weekend!

Jeane, I'll figure it out...may take me a few more times...delete what is duplicate. This is a great site...I like the magazine choice!
You have some big fire power...enjoy! New piece is amazing!

Hey, back. This is pretty funky and a little confusing but you'll work it out I'm sure. Better then Flicker for image viewing.

Melinda said...

I love your work! This new one does show your new energy from your recent travel. Whoo-hoo!

Have fun!

Looks like a whole new site! Very different to navigate, but I'm sure we'll all get the hang of it after more people start using these kind of options. I think it's ideal for your work. It really gives me a sense of being in your gallery! And I think Inkhaven might like this new look as well!

Hi Lynnie, ya, it's a bit confusing, but you have to be logged into google for your comment to be saved - me too Lynne, it's perfect for image sites like ours - I'll stick to it xxo

hello Wyn - thank you and sorry for the disappearing comments, so frustrating, but just make sure you are logged into google and that shouldn't be a problem next time - working on the pages....:)

I like the magazine template too Mary Ann - once everyone figures it out I think these new views will be a smash xo

hello Zani, thank you - yes a bit confusing at first, but I'm hoping everyone will get the hang of it, thanks for coming by :)

thank you Melinda, ditto!! I'm excited to have the next couple months to play with wax and fire and see where it will take me xo

good morning Annie - do give it a try Annie - these new templates are really good for images - it's nice to have a fresh look, xo

Tried to comment a couple of days ago but my comment got eaten by that hungry google monster!

Love this piece and the torch sounds like fun. I always love that slightly ethereal look of encaustics.

love the new look but find navigation a bit of a challenge. I'll figure it out eventually!

Jeane said...

so glad you came back Zendot - thank you, the torch is a wonderful new tool and I love wax also - will keep experimenting to see where this new path leads xo

deb said...

Just love how this looks, I agree it is perfect for an images. Did freak me out a bit when I first landed tho!!

helloooooo,,,
Jeane???
Hope I'm at the right place
I get so confused.
And Blogger has been refusing my entry.
Humpfffff!
Anyway, I love the new tool/toy and the work you created with it.

Jeane said...

hello deb, thank you, so glad you came by - new ways to see and do things over here - not perfect yet :)

good morning Babs! yes, you are definitely in the right place and so happy to see you here - shame on blogger for giving you are hard time - you can see the torch in action on my 'bits and pieces' page xo
