Wood Burning
I was asked how I did my wood burned spoons… It’s pretty straightforward. First comes the design. I wander around the internet, finding t-shirt slogans or signs or anything that happens to jump out at me. I try to find subjects that might apply to my customers… western patterns like my tooled leather look, outdoor/camping…
Rain
Wyoming has been blessed with rain. Too much in a few places! We received .75”. I know, the fact that Wyomingites count the rain in hundredths of an inch, should tell you something… but it is amazing what 3/4” of rain can do to this country! The rainstorm did hold off for longer than it…
Spoon Break
While I spent most of my day outside working in my garden and yard… sometimes I need a break. The dentist ended up pulling my troublesome tooth… and it aches! I should come in and clean on my house… more than likely, I sit down and work on a spoon or two, and leave the…
Spoons – Again
Spent the day sick in bed… but found more spoons to share…
Spoon Break
I’ve put some of my wood burned spoons over in Worland at Bee Healthy. It’s a cute food/health/gift store right on main street. I’m still having fun burning these little things…
Spoon Again
More spoons ready to go. All with a western theme, no surprise. But then, inspiration came… And this guy appeared. With flames on the handle, and his eye on the front, I’ll be sorry to see this guy go.
Spoonin’
Playing some more… I do the fronts with a small pic, the back with the major pic, and the handles with a pattern as well. The bottom is my kids’ brands surrounded by a tooled leather style design. These are fun!
Hot Craft
Oh, sure, I have some wire jewelry that needs made, but, you know me… I’m off to another fun craft I had planned to use to make some Christmas presents. I’m a little late, but having fun woodburning these spoons for friends and family.
Gifts
In between making some Christmas cookies… and cleaning… and wrapping… I’m working on a few gifts. Since I gave this one away yesterday… I can share! Running Buffalo!
Mercury Glass
Every little bit, I’m trying to squeeze in some crafting. ‘Tis the season, dontchya know? I’m on a mercury glass kick right now… Those old, mottled, silvered/mirrored glass objects… not the real stuff, I probably couldn’t afford those. Just a remake. I took some old vases and bottles… and some of Krylon’s cool mirror spray…
