Here is a picture of my kitten, Luna, and I. We found her at the local animal shelter. She's neutered, but not declawed, and she is Oh! so precious.
Just so you know, the fancy name for woodburning is PYROGRAPHY. I'm a pyrographer. I've been at this form of art for a long time now and have been selling woodburnings for over ten years. I've not had any formal art training but am self-taught. I've always lived in the country and love the woods, lakes and streams and all wildlife. Well, there's a lot of tame life I love too!
This is the simplified process for one of my woodburnings:
First I do the original drawing of the subject.
Second, I transfer this drawing of mine to a piece of wood with transfer paper.
Third, I do the woodburning carefully and in detail.
Fourth, I use colored pencils to finish the piece.
Each and every woodburning I do is entirely hand done in this fashion. I can draw a bird, for example, and then transfer that drawing to an infinite number of wood pieces. So a bird you buy at auction is hand crafted from my own original drawing.
If you see an item you like and I have only one listed, please understand that I can make more of that item. E-mail me and let me know you want one and I'll woodburn and color another for you.
Custom Pet Portraits
I am frequently commissioned for special request work. Mammals, birds and fish that I have not already drawn can be done upon request. I do a good number of pets (mostly dogs) on either my ornament bark rounds which are about 3 x 4 inches for $12.95 plus postage or a purchased basswood bark round of about 9 x 6 for $39.95 plus shipping. E-mail me if you are interested. I would need a clear photograph of the pet. My work is always guaranteed. If you don't like a commissioned work, you don't have to purchase it. I send a picture of the finished work by e-mail for approval.
Any special requests, custom work or personalized items, will be listed in my store for your immediate purchase. I will email you when the item(s) are listed.
I try very hard to serve my customers well with honesty, friendliness, courtesy and prompt shipping. Please, if you ever have ANY concern over an auction, e-mail me so we can clarify things.
