Description
A commissioned set of nesting dolls, with a Halloween theme. The largest is apx. 6" high; the smallest is smaller than my pinky-finger's nail. Each one was hand drawn with a pencil, then hand-burned using an Optima 1 pyrography pen. I used two dots of red acrylic paint on the smallest.
From largest to smallest:
-Haunted House
-Graveyard with Statuary*
-Reading Witch
-Jolly Scarecrow
-Stack of Skulls
-Three Ghosts
-Wry Owl
-Satisfied Cat
-Wee Bat
-Black Widdow Spider
Pyrography on lime wood
Pen: Optima 1
A short video of these pieces can be found on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pjwPu…

About the Process:
Each piece is first hand-drawn with pencil (brain to hand to wood). Reference photos may be used, but all designs are my own original artwork.
Then guidelines are hand-burned using a pyrography pen, and all pencil marks are erased and sanded clean.
The piece is finished entirely with pyrography ( hand-burned using a hot pen, similar to a soldering iron).
No computers are used to generate images. No lasers are used to create designs. No routers are utilized to create depth. Very occasionally, I will add bright accent tints of purple, blue, green, or red with acrylic paint; however, all non-chromatic shades are accomplished with burning, and not paints or stains.
