some woodburns

[sparegus.livejournal.com]

This is my first post, I think...I just had to share!

I picked up a wood burning tool last week and I love it!


soooo, since I went picture happy,



I had some pre-cut wooden pieces to work with...I can't remember what I originally purchased them for but they work pretty good for wood burning, if a little difficult due to the grain. This one's just a little bird and I like the way that the coloring of the wood works with the image. The disc is about 2" diameter.




A little lamb.




Two birds




Two images on a wooden plank. Currently trying to figure out the best way to cut them out. This likely would have been better thought out if I cut the pieces first, then burned, but forethought wasn't really there. Ideas?



My work setup. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.




A finished piece using one of my burned pictures. I was a little messy on the poly, so I've got to clean that up, but right now I love it!
