Wedding in one month. Finally locked down music for the reception.

Decided to make something for party favors, got myself a cheap woodburner and made some coasters. 150 of them. In one sitting.

Been messing around with some of the extra wood, too.

Wow! That art is really impressive.

Great job with the woodburning! I always enjoy seeing what you make. :)

Oh thanks :) glad to hear you've been taking a shine to sewing recently, would love to see pictures when it's all done!

They're all hideous, but I love making them.

Ahhh! These are wonderful! Are you using a pre-made pattern, or just winging it?

user-inactivated  ·  1970 days ago  ·  link  ·  

A little of both? For the rabbits, the original pattern was for felt and since I don't want to use felt, the end result comes out different. For the little round guys, the end result is supposed to be an owl. But, I can't seem to make it work so I just said "Screw it. They're little rodents."

I am gonna make my own pattern next though. A little elephant shaped pillow for Dala.

I thought the owl rodents were penguins first.

You're the fifth person to say that. They're penguins now. 🐧

30 day countdown, WOOO!

Nice detail on the mountain landscape. Which came first, the man on the log or the man on the coaster?

Log-man! Actually, several of them. Amassing quite a collection of bearded woodsmen

Practice and fun, the best combo there is. Unless the woodsmen have another purpose? I'd like to think the flat surfaces are easier to burn onto.
