The Home and Garden Television taping in April 2006 went really well. My segment premiered this week and it came off way better than I thought it would. I was so afraid it would look stupid because they really made me “ham it up” while they were filming saying that you have to overact for it to come off as normal on camera. I thought they were crazy, but even I think it worked out. Yay!

The piece I made on air is called Spring Bouquet (pictured below).

You can see more images from the filming of the show on my web site or go to the project intructions on the HGTV web site. I’ve also written a book called Embracing Encaustic: Learning to Paint with Beeswax that will guide you through the basics of working with this amazingly versitile and forgiving medium.
