This post is a few days worth of work, but it’s the sequence of the whole thing so far.

I did a light burn on the pentacle to start.

People were already complimenting the work, which is nice, but it didn’t really mean anything yet.  There was no shading or anything.  So anyway, once we had finalized all the other images, I went to town on the peacock feathers.  I needed the fine tip for that, and it broke right after.  I have to go buy another…maybe two or three, honestly.  The tip broke so easily (not from burning…the burner fell when it was cold, and that snapped the tip) that I don’t want to be without it again.  Anyway, here’s the peacock feathers.  Awesome, no?

Next step, when I needed a break from the feathers (which took a whole afternoon) I went for the sand dunes and camels.  I LOVE the camels.

So now these guys needed shading, but I snapped my tip!  I had to move to a less fine point.  I decided to work on starting the outline of the lotus.

Then in the southwest, I did the outline of the cobra.  That’s another huge knot to contend with.  I decided to go big or go home, and just do a heavy burn right away.

Then came the flames, and the phoenix. too.  Light outline to start.

I needed a break, then.  So I did the shading on the Pentacle.

Then I went for the flames and phoenix shading.
