Description
This small plaque was the result of an intense exploration of existing Norse art, particularly metalwork. The corner images represent Huginn and Muninn, Odin's Ravens; the center is a quote from the Havamal.
Cattle die, kindred die,
Every man is mortal:
But the good name never dies
Of one who has done well.

Pyrography on birch
Pen: Optima 1
For a look at the creation of this piece, please visit my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGHVl1…
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.
