Pyrography (aka Wood Burning)

[Lindy]

My other hobbies include wood carving and pyrography. Pyrography includes wood burning but since I also burn on leather, paper, tagua nuts (vegetable ivory) and bark it is more than just wood I'm burning.....

I used to teach for Lee Valley Tools in Calgary before I moved out here to the coast.

Thanks for letting me share.

How did I miss this topic before? Wow - Lindy you are soooo talented! Beautiful representation. I can't access your site link so I have to ask - do you do your burning with a torch? Iron? What......? So curious

hey Tanya,

I use a temperature controlled electric burning pen system. It's called a Razertip which is Canadian made but sold worldwide. Thank you for your kind words - I love art in all its forms.

Cheers
Lindy
