Another idea for my Etsy store! I am in the process of burning a series of these, intended as gifts for couples or weddings.
One coaster is burnt with a stag, the other with his lady friend and when placed together they match up. These are OOAK, I burn straight into the wood so won't repeat the design again
Oh my these are just darling! I hope I am not sounding like a complete dummy but when you wood burn do you burn all around the Deer until you find it's shape and then add the detail? Or is the whole Deer burned into the wood using various pressure/time etc. to create the different shades? Also did you use a dark lacquer/varnish or clear? Sorry for so many questions I am just rather curious about the whole thing!
It really depends! I burn as part of my spiritual practice. Sometimes the animal comes first and I put the lines in and sometimes I just burn until I find them. The varnish I use is either clear or I use danish oil and wax on items like the totem pebbles.
