I Miss Wood-Burning!

As you know, I’ve been trying to improve my ability to draw what I see since I’ve moved to Thailand. I have a small ‘art alcove’ where I have my big, fat sketchbook, regular pencils, colored pencils, a small set of watercolors, and some pastel chalk. I’m enjoying the challenge of the sketching and then trying to paint the sketches.

I have to admit I miss the other art forms I was doing before we moved. The newest one, just before we left, was trying to teach myself wood-burning. I had just gotten started, figuring out which tip did what, experimenting with various techniques, sizes and shapes of wood, etc. I would have loved to continue that here in Thailand, but I simply don’t have the space, and I have no clue where to get the supplies and tools I would need to continue.

I’m just going to share some of the pieces I did, hoping you enjoy them.

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…

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?
