First time Poetry Postcard Fest participant Lawrence Pevec made a video about his encaustic postcard process. Lawrence is a friend and member of my spiritual community, Subud. He is also a Board Member of the cultural wing of Subud, SICA-USA, an entity which I now Chair and which sponsored Poetry Postcard Fest in 2020.

Notes on the last Poetry Postcard Activation for 2026 at Pritchard Beach in Seattle.
The last 2026 Poetry Postcard Activation is set for June 6 from 11a-1pm at Pritchard Beach in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood with postcard collage making, future-centric poetry prompts, local history and a vision for the venue in the future.
This year the Poetry Postcard Fest celebrates its 20th anniversary. From the fest many a creative project has spawned, and one recent example of that is Julie Master’s book: No Headlines Here: Postcard Poems.
What a great presentation! I have tried encaustic and never felt that it ‘turned out right’. Maybe I should try harder and just enjoy the process. Your poetry also speaks to me.
That was a joy to watch.
Oh! this was pure pleasure. Thank you, Lawrence, for creating. And Paul, for sharing. <3
Really neat to see this. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing. I’ve melted crayons on a foil wrapped hot plate. Your work reminded me of the process.
Thanks for sharing This! I loved it. Maybe wax is my next frontier.
So beautiful!
Amazing and mind boggling ! Thank you ! I have done batik on rice paper and acrylics or watercolors but this is so much intimidating
This was such an exciting video of your process..all your experimenting. Thank you so very much forgiving us this gift of watching you create.
So beautiful a nd inspiring!
Dear Lawrence,
Thank you for the demonstration and your poetry. Creating and sharing with strangers is indeed an act of love in troubled times.
