My silhouette style pictures have been very popular with the Guys I’ve had a couple of commissions of them two for gifts for men.

Encaustic painting can be a talking point and I’ve been told that guys find it interesting as its a bit different.

I have some cufflinks made with fordite - perfect for any Dad who loves his car (especially if he had an escort or capri in the 70s when this material was made).
