These are just a few things I've made over the past couple of years during the "plandemic", I mean pandemic. Art is such a relaxing hobby and it takes your mind off all the deliberate things happening. I don't sell my artwork. I just do it for fun. Occasionally I do give it as gifts. That's my favorite thing to do with it. I've got a piece in mind for a nightlight. Just have to figure out how to do it. But, for now, here's what I've done...
This one was one of my first pieces. Since I can't draw, I traced the images on the wood with carbon paper. I printed out the image and then taped it to the carbon paper. After tracing it on the wood, I removed the papers and then went over it with the pyrography pen (that's what I call it, anyway). The colors on the cross and dove images are simply colored pencil. Then I sprayed the whole thing with a wood sealant. It's my favorite piece.
This is a tea candle holder made from epoxy resin. Quite simple, really. I use resin that is 1 to 1 ratio. It's easier for me to be precise for measuring the amount. I used alcohol ink in a couple different colors to give it a multi-tone appearance.
*Note- If anyone is thinking about getting into resin molding, please keep in mind that one resin is not the same as the other. The resin I used for this piece was not the heat resistant type. As a result, it gets bendy if I put a lit candle in it. I was a beginner when I made this. I still use it as a trinket box, though.
I also make jewelry, perfume/ cologne, melt and pour soap, etc. I'm no expert on any of this. All of my pieces have flaws, but like I said, I do all of this for fun.
I hope you found this interesting. I'll try to be more detailed in the next one.
Thank you for stopping by!!
