Doors 2

“Be an opener of doors.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Knock Knock” – Robert Fawcett – Fine Art America

“But…books are so much more. Some of them are webs; you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely, into strange and dark corners. Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self-contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch. And some of them―the best ones―are doors.” ~ Lauren Oliver

When Wood Comes Alive 3

These artists bring such different views about what to do with wood, their visions, and their methods of doing it. I’m blown away by all the different styles and the expertise it takes to create these things.

When Wood Comes Alive 2

DreamHomeWoodArt – Etsy

I just love wooden sculpture. I had a bird that I kept by the computer in Arkansas. It didn’t cost a fortune, but I thought it was beautiful and it spoke to me. I often just held it in my hands and moved my hands over it. For some reason, that calmed me. Priceless.

I love this! It puts me in a Christmas frame of mind no matter what the month. I love the chubby cheeks, the lush beard, the hats…

Ludde Nordin

The positive and negative in this piece are really creative. Simple, yet beautiful.

I love seeing what an artist can do with a piece of wood. I’m in awe of their ability to ‘see’ what they want to do, and then have the expertise to make that wood come to life.

How sleek and elegant this is, capturing the essence of ‘fox-ness’.

And, equally, the ‘cat-ness’ captures my heart right away.

I wish I could tell you the name of the artists on these, but that information wasn’t supplied.

Hares and Hollows

Eric of Hares and Hollows on Etsy offers art prints. In the ‘about’ section it says that his grandparents raised him and both were creatives. His grandmother painted, was a gardener, etc. and his grandfather was a carver of wooden animals. I have no clue whether these prints show his grandfather’s work or not, but I think the prints and the sculptures are amazing.

Aspiration

Just wanted to show you bookmarks that make me drool. I would LOVE to be able to create images like this, but will have to content myself with making images that might make people smile or laugh, instead. I think these are incredible. Agni Prasada Burning on Etsy.

I love these mainly because the artist has shaped the wood of the bookmark to be part of the design – in this case, the dragonfly. And the cat tails also ‘spill over’ the rectangular basic shape of the bookmark, so you have a wonderful 3-D image as well as the art work. Just stunning.

Hot Pencel Art 3

Carrie L. of Hot Pencel Art on Etsy, says she has been doing pyrography (wood burning) for 20 years. She offers custom pet portraits like these above, plus other things in her shop.

Trying to learn the skill, I’m in awe of her talent. She is a master. I don’t think practicing for 20 years will get ME anywhere near there…

I am in awe about this woman’s talent. Not only are the paintings wonderful, but they seem to jump up off of the wood!

Maybe if I live to be as old as Grandma Moses, I MIGHT be able to imitate some of the techniques and style I’m finding of other artists who do wood burning.

This is the work of Carrie, at HotPencelArt on Etsy. She really brings this to an art form, doesn’t she?

When I grow up, I would love to be able to do wood-burning like these two beautiful examples.

Pyrography by Bondarchuk

These are both done by masters. I’m awestruck.
