Madonna and Child | Pyrography drawing
Merry Christmas Eve! I won’t interrupt your festivities for long….I created a little video of a project that’s taken me months to complete…and it just got done in time!

What’s pyrography?
Wood burning, to be colloquial….it’s burning the surface of a piece of wood at different rates and temperatures to create different shades. This one was…epic. The wood was too hard to work with easily, but I love how it came out.

A few details
This piece took me over 120 hours, I lost count at some point….I worked on it on and off since perhaps September. The darker the color the longer it takes, especially if trying to make it smooth! I have some spots that need more work, so maybe by next Christmas it’ll be just right. 🙂
The wood is a piece I picked up at a craft store, and I think I’m finding out I like bamboo best – which is not what this is. A piece on bamboo didn’t take nearly this long to get dark and even! I think I’ll try out some other woods and see what else is out there too. But it was super fun working on a circle! I rigged up a spinny thing from an old lazy susan that I got at Goodwill – which was a bargain at a buck!
