Pyrography

Hi, I'm new to the group, and I thought I'd introduce myself by showing a piece or two I've done in the semi-recent past. Unfortunately all the pictures I put up came up as big boxes with X's on them, but hey.

Anyway, my name is Amanda, although on the web I go by either Khira or Shambles. I'm 25 and this is what I do to help relieve stress.

 I just love love using dogs as subjects.

Hallo,

I'm the maintainer for the LJ Community 52 Crafts - A community with a goal in mind, to complete 52 crafts in 2009.

More under the cut if your curious....

Now this is a find, a group that enjoys pyrography as I do.  I've been woodburning for about three years now and find that it's addictive.  I hope to share ideas, advice, and experiences with everyone here, not to mention enjoy the beautiful work that is already obvious among the members.  

For those of us with natural eared dober pups, here is the new plaque.
Proceeds from this one will also be donated to Damon's Den Doberman Rescue.



This one is also unfinished, and can be customized to the purchaser's preference.

You may Bid here.

 

I must admit, I was surprised to find a pyrography group here on LJ... but since I did, I had to join. I'm new to it all, but I am already addicted.

I don't work with photos or images like that yet. I prefer the symbols and flat designs.

Behind the cut are some of the pieces I have done...
( some for sale on Etsy, some not...Collapse )

Anyhow, that should be enough for now.... I look forward to chatting and sharing tips/ideas with you guys!

    Hey Folks,  Just found your site and thought I'd drop in and show you a piece of mine. Forgive me if the formatting is wrong. I'm still learning to use the computer. This is a peice of myrtle wood (oregon) that  I purchased at a yard sale and had to spend a few hours resurfacing as someone had left the wood in their rather damp basement (not a place I recommend for wood). The director of our local Gallery Walk like it so much she entered it into our Oshkosh 150 and I then gave it to my Mother for Christmas where it resides proudly in her collection.

About a month or so ago, I FINALLY finished Tasha's portrait. It was mostly done. But, I still had to add the finishing touches. Her name, her birthdate, I used paint to hightlight her eyes, her nose, and the little bit of white on her chin. Then I painted the outer edge, and gave it a clear coat. I like how it turned out. It's really hard to get a good picture with the clear coat. I took several and this was the best. Let me know what you think.
