New Work

As promised, some photo's of my experimentation progress. I tried a couple of new things yesterday. I tried transferring images with this super sauce stuff...that didn't work so well, the image got messed up. I tried using decal paper, followed the instructions, varnished it before using... the image got messed up. So, I took a break and decided to finish my pyrography piece and mounted some of my prints on boards. Well, I love the way they turned out! What do you think?

I need to seal them with varnish, do you have any suggestions for me as far as a good brand to try or a certain type of varnish? Would you prefer a matte or glossy finish?

I am envisioning a series of these, coordinating patterns that can be hung together. Love it! I left the sides the natural wood color. It looks so pretty.

I painted the sides of this one white.

I love the way my flowers translated onto this pyrography piece. This is wood burned then painted.

Well, that's it's for now. I am going to try to paint with acrylics again today. I bought a bigger board in the hopes that I will be able to loosen up a bit. I only have a short window of time to play today so I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Have a great day.

Gorgeous! Your work seems so well-suited to these boards. Love your color palette + the wood. Have fun with the acrylics.

Wood burned then painted that's so clever!
Lovely to see your experiments working out so well for you Steph

So sooo pretty! These are great and so unique! I think I'd like it matte finish, if it was for me. :) That way, shiny light won't distract from the art!
