This is my first entry on my first blog - and I am finding it a bit intimidating. I will try hard not to babble as I do when I am nervous. The mission of this blog is to introduce myself as a Artist and to get myself out there. I am new to this Artist business, even though I am getting on in years (the Big 50 in November). The past couple of years have been tumultuous, filled with many ending and beginnings.
During one of the life changing moments, I stumbled upon a Pyrography Magazine, published by Fox publishing. Within its folds I learned the term pyrography, and that this was an ART form - writing with fire. The idea that my hobby was an artform was a concept that - well - itched. It niggled at me and I twisted it around in my head for a long time. Up until this time I burned some boxes for fund raisers, and did some paid work for a carpenter friend, but I didn't think of it as artwork. But what I did do was try out the techniques and I began to create more pieces.
My work improved, but it still wasn't where I knew it could be. Then Christmas came. My loving husband's gift changed my pyrography work immensely. A professional, variable temperature, interchangeable pen, pyrography machine. With heat that was instant, constant and changeable, I was able to get the shading, depth and quality I was looking for. I still have a long way to go, but with these tools I am excited about the journey.
In this blog I plan to introduce one of piece every day. Please share with me your thought and opinions. You can always email me here: TerrysNiche@gmail.com
