Contemporary Creations by Riley

I haven’t posted on here in a while, but not due to not having projects, just due to making lots of gifts that I couldn’t share yet!

Here’s a massive wood burned creation I did a couple months ago for a wedding guest book. This chunk of tree came right out of the bride and groom’s backyard of their first home together. 💕

Sunset & Cloud study this past weekend 🌤

If you’ve been wondering what the process of making a wood burned creation is like, then this post is for you!

After the wood and design are chosen, I print and trace it using either an exact-o knife or etching tool. Once there’s a rough etch of the design (particularly words because those can be hard to free hand) I outline it in pencil and start burning!

This is a fairly large piece and it took about 7 hours to finish! Are there any Bible verses or sayings you’d like to see in a wood burning creation?
