My Little Chickadee (pyrography)

[Bob in SF]

This little chestnut backed chickadee framed itself on our backyard trellis as a worthy pyrography subject - Razertip burner with stock and hand-ground tips on 1000 grit-sanded bass wood - burned outdoors to disperse smoke:

Hoping to finish this eastern diamond back rattlesnake sooner than later (time permitting):

Next step is some micropyrography on wooden pen barrels (or better yet on very thin veneers adhered to barrels).

Best regards to all - Bob

Wow, Bob! That is some really impressive work! I'd be real interested in seeing more of this. (Perhaps make a video? Hmmm? ) Thanks for sharing that! :biggrin:

Nice work once again. I peeked in expecting something to do with W.C. Fields (I am old, yes).

Heartfelt thanks for kind words!

I've long enjoyed the deep meditative aspects of drawing from nature and the imagination.

Pyrography is particularly engaging. I keep the tip temperature low for the initial drawing, then raise the heat very gradually as I commit to line, form, general light flow, highlights, and mood.

Since I draw (and burn) outside, I favor pre-dawn, dawn, and late afternoon hours for rendering.

Thanks again.
