I can’t wait to show you pictures.  Without giving away the surprise, I can say that there’s quite a bit of feather work on this piece, so it’s a bit time consuming.  I’ve got the outline done with a heavy burn, and I’m ready to start the shading portion, probably tomorrow.

The image itself, just the outline is very striking and beautiful.  Adding the shadows is really going to make it pop.  I’m so excited!  It’s going to be awesome.

Meanwhile, I received a shipment of the next box to be burned.  This is going to be my biggest canvas yet!  It was damaged in shipping however, so I have to get a replacement.  I want to post a picture, but if I do it will add into the library and become stuff you see at the top of the pages, and I don’t want that.

It’s really toy-chest sized.  I’ve been thinking about bigger canvases too, like, HOW COOL WOULD IT BE to burn the entrance to the Mines of Moria on your front door?  I’m thinking about scroll-work and things that enhance large pieces of furniture…I mean…gods I could burn everything!  EVERYTHING!

Ahem….anyways…gotta go do my day job.  You know.  Pays the bills.
