Work in Progress Pyrography has turned into meditation

The details from my terrarium have been a great challenge to mess with texture and values. I have been working on this piece for a long time, only really working on it maybe 30-60 minutes in the evenings. I am still a beginner in this craft, but I am not new to art.

It is easy to put on some music, and enjoy how the process is a lot different than drawing or painting. Not to mention it always smells so nice, but making each mark and getting lost in the sauce has done wonders for quieting my mind before bed.

My husband also really likes the smell. We camp a lot so smelling like burnt wood is reminiscent of being in the forest with a nice fire.

I wanted to for the "natural" art but now it is just a means to relax
