Welcome to FHC Alicia you have a beautiful gift! Nice work... Grizzly Adam she burned your image in wood!
Been there. Done that. Doing that. Beautiful creations! An artist you are. Just let your creativity flow and put it out there. The rest will happen as it should.
Thank you! I have about 4 projects I am working on now for my siblings so once they are done I’ll get started on selling them. Lol.
Haha well now I suppose in order to exhale I first must inhale... mainly I blow it away from my eyes. It’s not good, but eventually I’ll get a fan haha.
Have all your pieces been done on "burning wood" made specifically for this or have you played with any wild caught slabs of wood. I have not played with much wood burning but always thought it wood be neat to do a sunset scene on some juniper or red cedar and work a knot into it as the sun. Beautiful work, you definitely have a talent!
All of these pieces are done on wood I bought from craft stores. I will eventually be doing them on wild wood when I move back to Washington. I have a few maple burl slabs, but the grain is just so magnificent that I cannot bring myself to cover it up by burning it. I have a rather small piece of the slabs that I may play around with, but for the moment my burning is on beech, basswood, and pine and birch that I bought from the craft stores. The juniper burn sounds beautiful, but I am not sure how it would burn. Even pine is a pain in the tail mainly due to the different grains. A mix of soft and hard grains give a rather jagged effect of not sanded correctly or using too much pressure with the tool. Thank you very much. I have dabbled in a few crafts, but non have ever taken my attention like wood burning. The combination of two of my favorite things was clearly the path for me. Lol. Pyro-art!
