Wood burning pyrography

Hello, I am back!
I haven't been very creative the last month and I don't want to make a blogpost about sewing endlessly face masks (what kept me busy for some weeks)!

But some days ago, I got a wood burning kit for my birthday and had lots of fun trying that out. After testing on an old piece of wood (we have tons in my husbands workshop) the first real outcome was this flower-candle! The rectangular wood was a test piece too and I had the idea to turn it into a candle, when remembering some wooden flowers I had on stock. 
This one went directly in a parcel I prepared for my dads birthday!
I really liked those flower candles and later made some more:
I tested different burning tips on spatulas. It is not so easy to draw freehand lines as the structure of the wood derails the pyrography pen.
The one with the owl turned out very good. It will become a page marker!
The ones with "thank you" and "merci" on it will become gift tags.
I also made three other page markers:
You can see I really liked the flower burning tip ;-)
With the wooden flowers for the candles I also found some owls and made for those pedestals with fir trees on three sides and footprints on the fourth.
My boys also tested and both made real drawings. Son 1 a hedgehog and a mole and I think the one of son 2 shows an explosion on water. (you can imagine the different caracters of my kids?)


A bientôt,
Jane
