NOTE - CURRENTLY, I AM NOT ACCEPTING
ANY HUMAN COMMISSIONS.
For those of us who just love our pets, I offer
reasonably priced, customized pet portraits burned into
basswood.
I
do not
have a laser etching machine; all of my work is done
stroke-by-stroke by hand; every hair is burned with
care.
I strive to bring your
pets to life in the wood, whether they are alive and
well today, or only left to live in your heart. Each
pyrograph is highly detailed to realistically replicate
your reference photos. Each piece is finished with a
water-resistant sealant.
I use live-edge (bark bordered)
basswood wood slices. The average size is 11" x 12" rectangle, but these measurements are subject to change as each piece
of wood is completely natural and not exact.
The process is pretty simple:
1. You supply a clear, high resolution
digital photo, description and concept for your custom piece.
I CAN'T BURN WHAT I CAN'T SEE!. In other words, I can't
make up details that I can't see in the photo (like eyes, nose, ears,
etc.).
2. We will chat to gather details like composition, deadlines,
adding color, etc.
3. Once we have an agreement
of what the piece should look like, a
50% deposit is required
before burning starts.
4. The image is transferred and
burned by hand into the wood or heavy paper.
5. If
shipping is required, an image of the finished piece will be
sent to you for approval and for final payment before
shipping by USPS.
Currently,
please allow 3 weeks for delivery for a single portrait in the
USA. Overseas shipments
take longer to clear customs.
