NEW in my Etsy shop!

In the studio this week...
What's happening in the studio this week? I just finished another 5x5" encaustic milagro (miracle), soon to be offered in my etsy shop. I have used encaustic wax, india ink, oil pastel and a small tin heart milagro on this piece. Tin milagros are very popular in Mexico, and are used to pray for a loved one who is ill, or needs help with business, family, livestock, etc. I LOVE these!
I scored "The Owl's Nest" sign at Goodwill for $1.99! Now that's a miracle in itself! It will hang in my 2nd floor loft studio. I have recently become very 'hooked' on the show, "American Pickers". These guys finds some absolutely amazing stuff and meet the most eccentric, yet heartfelt people!!

Corazon de mi Amor", encaustic, Copyright 2010 JonesMoore
I have just finished this piece and posted it on Etsy. I recently sold two of these encaustic pieces, also using heart 'milagro' images. I 'm having a lot of fun creating these, and will soon be doing eyes, hands, mouths, and more! "Milagro" means "miracle" in Spanish, and you see many of these litttle tin 'body parts' throught Mexico and Latin America. The families use them to aid in their prayers for loved ones who are ill. I love the idea of creating these 'little miracles' in wax...

Another beeswax milagro in the works...
This is the third piece in my "Milagro" (Miracle) series. It has been such a pleasure to scribe lines in to slightly warm beeswax! The poem underneath the heart image is called "El Amor" and was written in 1935 by Luz Maria Durand.
Please take the time to visit my Etsy shop, where I have more of these 'little miracles' for sale!

Corazon de la Plata
New work! It was very satisfying to carve into encaustic wax, and rub into the lines with oil pastel...
Soon for sale in my Etsy shop! (click on image for FULL VIEW!)
