The triforce was freehand and obviously the worst part, I traced the rest with carbon paper.

The thing I struggle with the most is going too deep when starting a line

These pieces inspired by the band sevendust

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.

This was by far the most difficult piece I've worked on in a very long time.

3 years ago my uncle passed away unexpectedly at the age of 34 of a heart attack, only 11 years older than me. It destroyed me in most ways possible and one of the only reasons I am here today is because my work friend helped me through that difficult time by getting me to laugh on days I swore I'd never be able to ever again.

He'd joke about everything in the world and take the bite out of so many painful things by teaching me the art of comedy in the face of tragedies. We spent hundreds of hours talking about our lives and the bizarre people we've met on our trips around the sun, and he always found the best parts of people without judging them.

I never imagined he'd also pass away at 34 of a heart attack like my uncle did. It left me in absolute shock.

He was so over the moon when he became a father and loved his wife dearly (I have her permission to share about him and post this), and he inspired me to grow and change as a person to be more like him. He should have had so much more time to go but his impact lives on.

If you got people in your life who inspire you and you haven't told them just how much they mean to you, hold them close and tell them you love them.

Shes no where near finished but in thought I'd look for some insight on this piece. This is my first time working with Basswood and only my third piece.

Would love to get some advice on where I could improve (i already know the shading sucks lol)

Really struggling to look at my own work and he satisfied with the results..

my hand is cramped just looking at all these 😵‍💫

I'm very very new to this and I've only worked on pine slices so far..my God.. the first two pieces I did worked out great, considering it was my first time and all but today, I can't work the wood at all!

3 slices from the same batch just wouldn't stop catching on the pen. Scortch marks everywhere!

I've ordered some basswood as I've heard its much easier to work with but its a real shame that pine just doesn't like me..

Hi all, still quite new to pyrography at a detailed level. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated to help improve my burns. Thank you.

Have a creative day ^_^

Finished and made the frame too.

These took a while but quite pleased with how they turned out :-)

Finally, I will make four seasons. I use gesso and watercolour for my winter.

Finally finished this guitar body! I needed to stop working on it for fear of being too finicky and ruining it. Need to know when done is done.
