My Pyrography Journey
I completed my first wood burning back in February 2019 using a $25 pyrography pen that I found on Amazon. The pen was cheap and the tips were all bent by the time I had finished, but I was only using it to try my hand at wood burning before I invested into something more expensive. I enjoyed the process, though my hand did not. Because of my muscle tightness, it was extremely painful and difficult to open my hand for about a week afterwards.
Time passed and I had not tried investing in a high quality wood burner until March of 2020. To my surprise and amazement, my three youngest art students combined their allowances and sent me a check to help pay for a Razer-tip wood burner for my birthday. Since their generous gift covered half of the $200 burner I bought, I decided that my first three wood burnings would be a gift for them. So, I burned their favorite animals with their names on 8"x8" pieces of wood. I really loved working on those, but I especially loved seeing the boys surprised faces when they unwrapped them. These boys are precious and I'm blessed that they are a part of my life.
