Pyrography Boxes for Miniature Portraits

January 2020

I purchased a wood burning unit for these, but definitely plan on diving further into this medium. These were created for the 30mm by 40mm Portraits in Miniature for TRM Cuan and Signy. I presented them to their majesties at 12th Night In Roanoke on 18 January 2020.

Did I purchase a crazy expensive woodburner for this project? Technically yes. Do I have other plans for it? Of course!

My first foray into pyrography.

I decided to use Danish Oil to stain these. (Also a first, but not a very impressive one.)

I lined the boxes with crushed velvet. I'm not sure I did this in the most efficient way, but it got done. I see why so many things are lined with cardboard covered in cloth now. (Again, new thing for me.)
