Wood Burned  'Dragon' Wall Hanging W/Carving

Wood Burned 'Dragon' Wall Hanging W/Carving

$550

**Sold** commissions available Original artwork & wood burning by Valarie Connell. 15" X 12" (approximately) This piece was created on a piece of Ponderosa Pine. The dragon is etched out and burned, color added with watercolors and water based stain. Customer can choose color stains and custom background for the dragon. The Dragon and background were completely etched out by hand and sanded smooth to appear 3D. The blue on the left side of the piece is a part of the Ponderosa Pine and is the color of that particular grain. Over 50 hrs spent working on this on and was handcrafted with love. Can be custom made on veneered plywood, but the etching / carving of the negative space in the background is not available. The watercolor was add to bring out the burning. No frame is necessary for this piece. Let me know how you would like to display this piece, so that I can add the hanging device for you. Small hooks and decorative chain would work well. You can see the shadow that the dragon is casting, which creates the 3D appearance that I was trying to achieve.

Hello to All!

My name is Valarie and I am a custom wood burning (Pyrography) artist behind the brand Drawing With Fire and YouTube creator of the same name. I have over 18 years experience in pyrography. I live in beautiful Flagstaff, Az and I am a multi-award winning artist who has done commissions for customers in the States and overseas; with many artwork pieces in private collections worldwide. I have also been featured in print.

My wood burning videos on YouTube (channel: Valarie Connell/DrawingWithFire).

My base price starts at $32 per linear inch with 1 subject and no color. This price includes pattern creation and sealant. I allow 2 major changes to the pattern free of charge. Any changes after this are $25 a change. Once I start burning no changes can be made. Wood burning is extremely hard to change.

I create custom wood burned wall hangings (all subjects), Animal Spirit Totem Plaques, portraits, and other custom subjects.

Each piece is carefully detailed and made by hand from beginning to the end with no two customer orders being exactly the same. Lasers are never used to burn or etch my pieces, all of of them are done by hand. Whether it is a quality wood burned wall hanging/panel or a portrait of that favorite relative or pet; each piece is made to reflect the love and care of the customer.

My main media (love) is Pyrography (wood burning). All artwork is original and I spend hours upon hours for each piece, ensuring the most detail possible. I have an eye for detail & color, which I work hard to ensure that all of those details are accurately expressed in my artwork.

My main wood is Baltic birch, basswood, and poplar; along with archival watercolor paper depending on size.

Email me for questions concerning this. infoDrawingWithFire@gmail.com

I look forward to meeting your custom art piece needs.

Quotes / Prices are based on size of the wood piece, number of subjects, stains, color media, text, etc..
