Pyrography
py·rog·ra·phy
pīˈräɡrəfē/
noun
the art or technique of decorating wood or leather by burning a design on the surface with a heated metallic point.
IYou may be more familiar with the term " wood burning". I have created many wood pieces in the past, and my newest venture into "pyrography" is burning on gourds. This is new to me, but I am fascinated by the beauty of these gourds . They can look like beautiful pottery, or tooled leather. I will be adding to this gallery in the future. For now, my first piece on a gourd that I grew several years ago.
