Recently I’ve been pretty darn inspired to give word burning a go.  At some of my more recent art shows I’ve seen a lot of stunning work that combines wood burning and paints.  I can’t imagine this being any kind of profitable endevour for me personally, but I am thinking I have a chance at making something beautiful.

I picked up my first wood burning kit yesterday at Michaels (gasp – the horror of it all).  I was fortunate enough to get a gift certificate so I didn’t feel all that guilty paying their ridiculously high prices for my newest tool.  It sure looks an awful lot like my soldering iron, but a hell of a lot less grungy and beat up.

Stay tuned.  More details as this craft develops.
