A Wood Burned Gift
I haven't wood burned anything in a really long time but to me it is just like drawing. It is something I never seem to lose the ability to do. So today I wood burned a gift for Phil's mother for Christmas. We didn't want to get her the same jewelry or gift set present that we always get her and when I saw a little bird feeder in the craft section of the store, I knew I wanted to wood burn it and make it pretty and that would be her gift. I drew the design on it today and sat down to wood burn. It took me about two hours (my hips are so bad, I thought I wasn't going to get back standing straight again afterwards!). I think it turned out rather nice.
And yes, I really hate leaves now :)

Lovely. I'm sure your MIL will love it!
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope so. I just wanted something different but nice.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWow! That is pretty, Becky! You are so creative! Have a Happy Holiday season! Blessings from Bama!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I really like it too.
DeleteHi Becky, very nice. Could be a way to supplement your income.
ReplyDeleteI have done the "craft and sell" thing before. It really only worked for me one time when I had someone consistently buying from me for their shop.
DeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous gift!!! You did great work sweetie :-)
Hope your hips feel better.
Thanks. I don't think the hips are really going to get better but you never know..
DeleteOh that is really lovely! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try wood burning!
I bought a cheap kit for $20 I think. Then I bought different tips for the wood burner but I seems to only use a few of them. I am not really good at it yet. I have some magazines on wood burning and some people do some spectacular art.
DeleteThis is a great idea! I love handmade gifts. So perfect!
ReplyDeleteI do too but I have made things for members of my family that are wasted so I only make things for people who I think will appreciate them now.
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWhat a beautiful present you made. Have bought my son a wood burning kit for Christmas maybe he can make me a similar one. Although the kit I got him looks quite small I hope it will be ok.
ReplyDeleteI suggest getting him some books or magazines on woodburning. The ones I have taught me a lot. I am not nearly as good as the people in the books or magazines but they made me try harder and understand what I was doing wrong.
