I'm opening up pyrography commissions to go towards my wedding fund! Any subject matter goes; some things may be an extra fee.

I have more than a dozen sizes and price ranges, including live-edge rustic rounds, or tidier wooden canvases. I've also got some specialty woods, gourds, and jewelry boxes!

BONUS: if you've gotten a piece before, I'll give you a 'skill issue' discount since my skills have come a loooong way in the last few years!

I've got two spots open at the moment! This is some of my more recent work

One more from today. It was a beautiful morning, but it was also already 85ºF at 5:45am. By the time we were done riding and hosed down, it was 100ºF and climbing.

here are the promised better photos of the horse I painted!

more photos below the cut :) ->

this project took me a total of 55 hours of work, and is one of the most unique projects i’ve ever done. i drove it back to its home a few weeks ago, and the friend i painted it for loved it!

this is the horse I used as a reference! her name was Juno, she passed unexpectedly this spring. this project was a gift to honor her ♥️

No one grasped the concept of “eat out of a bucket to get your specific supplements” today but they’ll learn

I have been so busy that I keep forgetting to post here (a good thing!)

Stevie and I are now onto bareback solo trail rides. To think a year ago, riding her even in a saddle had us both so wound up and tense and on a hair trigger at the slightest sign of trouble. We worked hard together to get here <3

The first rainfall in weeks, and I’d taken their fly sheets off. Queue silly time

Guess where my horse slept last night

[eredhes]

[ID: Clay horse head and neck. It has been broken and glued back together with some pieces still missing leaving gaps that can be seen through. It varies from black to dark grey, with one white piece which includes one side of the nose and mouth. End ID.]

Did not think I would be able to piece this back into something recognisable.

[ID: Small clay horse figure which has broken and been glued back together. It is various shades of dark and light grey, with a subtle pink hue to one side of the face. End ID.]

One of the test pieces from trying to fire clay in a chimenea.
