FINALLY!

My burn has healed to the point that I can get to work again!  This has been a difficult time, because I didn’t connect that the reason that I wasn’t burning was because of the burn on my arm.  A great deal of the planning is done on my computer first, where I edit images and prep them for transfer to the wood.

My arm that holds the mouse rests RIGHT on top of my burn, and all the sliding back and forth was slightly painful, but mostly just annoying.  So working on my designs was annoying, and I didn’t register that it was the physical sensation.  Thank goodness!  Because it brings me so much joy to do the work, I just had no clue what was happening, and I thought maybe I was getting tired.

Apparently not.  BACK TO WORK!

So I’ve got a little Dr. Who box I’ve been working on…..this is for sale, so if you want it, comment.  I’m gonna guess this is going to go for about $85 when it’s done.   If no one speaks up, I’m just going to throw it up on Ebay and see what happens.

I’ll be lining the inside too.  Tardis Blue, of course.  And I’ll bye using blue dye on the front cover.  But I need to find the right lettering for the “POLICE CALL BOX” sign.  It’s got to look right or it’s just rubbish all around.

Front cover: TARDIS. Spine: "Time and Relative Dimension in Space, Adipose, Bad Wolf in graffitti, and some Gallifreyan at the top.

Gallifreyan is a bitch for woodburning, btw.  Because it’s all loops and circles and symmetry, the grain of the wood REALLY fights it.

Inside front cover: Preliminary burn of a Weeping Angel. I also have plans for a Cyberman and a member of The Silence as the bottom two images.

So that’s it for now.  So glad to be burning again!
