ReuVera's Wood burning's as Custom Art and Gifts for Sale.
72Pyrography
Pyrography means "writing with fire" and it is the traditional art of using a heated tip or wire to burn or scorch designs onto natural materials such as wood or leather. Burning can be done by means of a modern solid-point tool (similar to a soldering iron) or hot wire tool, or a more basic method using a metal implement heated in a fire, or even sunlight concentrated with a magnifying lens.
Time
My hobby since I was a child
I started wood burning pictures when I was in middle school. That time everything was scarce in Soviet country. We didn't even hear about wood burning tools. My first wood burner was a simple magnifying glass. I was wood burning only in summer on nice sunny days. My neighbor called this "drawing with sun rays". It was a really magic feeling- catching a sun ray, focusing it in a dot and dragging this dot to make a sketch. Then later I bought a simple electric wood burner with one stationary tip. All my wood burnings were either given away as gifts, or just left behind when we emigrated from the Soviet Union. Not long ago one of my youth friends sent me a picture of a picture I made for her 25 years ago. Here is this picture, called "Time".
Now I am using these types of pyrography tools.

I made lots of pictures since
Since then I was wood burning from time to time, but I got back to this hobby recently with full attention. I like to burn pictures on different types of wood, but my favorites are basswood and soft maple (sycamore).
Here I am going to show some of my works. I will appreciate if somebody can give me a feed back, as I am contemplating to start wood burning pictures for sale. We settled our web site which is new and fresh and is updated often.

CommentsLoading...
C.S.Alexis, thank you very much for your attention. I am a Pyrographoholic for sure. I'm looking forward to hearing a lot from you!
ReuVera,
You are an amazing artist to come up with a wood burning technique on your own as a kid. I never would have thought of doing something like that, which shows on resourceful people are when they have little to work with. Your pieces are amazing. Thanks for sharing all of these beautiful picture. C.S. Alexis recommended your hub, so I just had to come and see.
SweetyPie,
thank you for visitting and leaving such a kind comment. Wood burning with a magnifying glass is a challenge. You have to be very carefull and gentle, if I can say so, as you have to move the magnifying glass slow, adjusting the focus constantly. It was also a good experience in science, learning how sun can work. From time to time one of my friends would try to focuse a sun ray on his skin, it was funny to watch them jump suddenly, when sun was biting them! Also it was a challenge to find pieces of wood to burn on. Usually I was taking something from a trash, like old parcel's covers. I lived in a city, not many possibilities to find wood.
My special thanks to C.S.Alexis for the refferal. I appreciate it very much.
Very good job, I mean art.
Wonderful.

Vera, you are a great artist. Your characters are so vivi. I like the snowman, and the pumpkins and the train. But most of all I like the cat that's above the snowman. I'll be visiting your site too. Good luck.
Rated up and voted.
Thank you, Camelia! And btw, the little man that sits by the cat is a Russian "domovoi", a fictional character who is said to live in homes and protecting them from outside bad forces, but making small mischiefs inside, just to tease the owners.
I just love your art, its fascinating and it brings back memories of my brothers and their woodburning sets that Santa would bring....you have a nice mixture of whimsical, animals and scenery...I adore the intricacy of the woodburning...you have a wonderful talent...my favorites are the cowboys on horses and i LOVE the train engine
