Burned on
a 8" x 10" piece of wood which my
grandfather cut for me.

 

 

DragonflyI just can't get
enough of dragonflies!!!!

 

 

 

Dragon

Here's a design I did on a set of congas.......The one on the right reads "Barron".

 

 

 

bird burning

 

I use the same two tips for all of my burnings.....a writing tip and a shading tip. I prefer burning on Basswood. However, some of the burning shown here may be in Plywood, mushrooms, roots, and anything else I can find to burn :)

 

 

Hawk Hawk Close-Up

When creating birds I use only a writing tip (except in the eye area) This tip is very small and shaped like a sharp knife. It's wonderfull for intricate work!

 

 

 

 Dragonfly Burning

I prefer the natural look of burning but every once in a while I will use water pencils as seen in the piece on the left.

 

 

wip mermaidThis one is in progress. I'll admit it's a little strange! In the enlarged image you will notice my design has been sketched in pencil and I am blending two water colors together around the design.
