Book Artist DS Watkins
DS Watkins' special gift, an encaustic vision, given to Annette Bouchey, was an appreciation of Annette's original 12x12 Design Challenge given to DS Watkins.


"Romeo y Julieta (the love birds)"
A little teaser, Artist DS Watkins, reading from her version of a Romeo and Juliette love story. One version of this hand waxed prize opens and is read through the female's sensibilities and the other, of course, the male's tale.  This book has so much more, there's body, brass and feathers!
