Steemart - Pyrography Art on Cardboard
This is my first time using the pyrography tool on a piece of cardboard, which I reclaimed from the back of a drawing sketchbook. It's a hard pressed 3 mm cardboard. The process of wood burning on cardboard does feel rather peculiar, but in the end it worked fine.
First I drew some main lines to make some shapes which I would fill with pyrography doodles; just like regular doodles only burned onto cardboard. Below you can see the shape of the tip that I'm using, if you're into pyrography.
In the end I decided to add some colors and used acrylics to do the job. For the background I used a sponge dipped in some ochre color acrylic; that's just a fancy name for yelow/orange.
Great design!
Thank you! :)
magnificent work, congratulations
@jlufer thank you! I always appreciate your visits.
beautiful work, did you have to work quicker to avoid burning the card too much or can you adjust the temperature on your tool?
I can't adjust the temperature on this one, but I used the same speed of movement and it didn't burn faster than wood. Maybe because it's thick pressed cardboard, I'm not sure.
Thanks, curiosity got the better of me so I had to ask :D
I'm glad I could help :)
That is beautiful:)
Thank you for your kind words!
You're welcome!
I like it... creative use of the steem logo.
Thank you for your kind words.
Very nice work. Have you ever considered using leather as a medium?
Thank you. Yes I have considered working with leather, but haven't tried it yet.
It's hard to believe that's cardboard! I would be terrified of setting the house on fire. I'm hoping to get my wood burning tools by the end of the year. A birthday treat for me. :)
It's cardboard from the back of a sketchbook. Can't wait to see what you make with your burning tool. :)
