Description

A letter done in the Oseberg style; a Viking form of knotwork often featuring zoomorphic or “grasping beast” motifs. This letter has a highly stylized Viking dragon winding along the curve of the “S.”


Pyrography on birch

Pen: Optima 1

 

About the Process:

 

Each piece is first hand-drawn with pencil (brain to hand to wood). Reference photos may be used, but all designs are my own original artwork.

Then guidelines are hand-burned using a pyrography pen, and all pencil marks are erased and sanded clean.

The piece is finished entirely with pyrography (  hand-burned using a hot pen, similar to a soldering iron).

No computers are used to generate images. No lasers are used to create designs. No routers are utilized to create depth. Very occasionally, I will add bright accent tints of purple, blue, green, or red with acrylic paint; however, all non-chromatic shades are accomplished with burning, and not paints or stains.
