image traced with graphite paperI burn things is just more fun to say!

I  recently ventured out into the world of pyrography, also known as woodburning.

And just like with anything else in life that crosses my path, I dove in head first and didn’t look back.

Such is my life!

What is pyrography? Glad you asked!

pyrography

[pīˈräɡrəfē]

NOUN
  1. the art or technique of decorating wood or leather by burning a design on the surface with a heated metallic point.

 

Pyrography is a fancy term for wood burning. I have fond memories of playing with my dad’s set growing up and decided to give it an official “big girl” try.

And I am a•ddic•ted!

I would like to merge the art of mosaics and pyrography together…somewhere down the road.
