I kept burning line and the charring eventually diminished leaving a charred black line that faded to a dark line. Well during one of those return trips to the left, the tip had built up excessive heat, so when I started the new line it charred. I burned from left to right and when I finished a line I picked up the pen, returned to the starting point to begin a new line. I had turned up the heat pretty high on my pen and started burning long lines. The dark wood patterned background I created was done on accident. The only option was to burn in the background. He said that nothing would guarantee the stain wouldn’t bleed into the burned areas and I didn’t have enough time to start over if that problem happened. I had thought to stain the background, but my husband said that staining the wood would be very chancy.

It was getting very obvious to me that the pale background was going to steal the thunder from the center heart. My progress on this is shown in the photos below. I liked how this look, but wasn’t sure if it would be enough, so I started burning in the scrolling pattern. This photo shows how I burned a dark shadow or border around the outside edges of the pattern to accomplish to provide some high contrast. The elaborate scrolling pattern around the heart would be showcased by having darkest tone framing it. I knew I wanted the central heart to be the lightest spot making it the focal point, so everything else had to be darker. Like always, I planned out my areas of my lightest and darkest tone values.

The only area I had to leave blank was the center as I was going to personalize it based on the auction winner’s preference. Many little shapes there where until I started burning it. Each shape could have its own unique shading/tone pattern, but I will admit that I didn’t realize how

This project was a lot of fun to burn as I was free to do as I pleased. I found a pattern than I liked that symbolizes love and transferred it onto the wood. Material used: Store bought craft box (birch top, pine sides) I had a little wooden box I bought at the craft store and decided I would decorate it, line it with velvet, and hope it would make a nice jewelry / trinket box. Normally I donate baked goods, but this year I decided to donate pyrography artwork. I work at a grain elevator and every year the union organizes an auction for charity.
