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.

Beautiful work with the texture in the negative space!  It very reminiscent of the brush strokes in Starry Night!  Creates a really neat effect!

Thank you! I loved these so much when they were finished, I was half-tempted to keep them for myself!
