Sun Fun Art
Meet the Maker
Greetings,
It’s really awesome to sit outside and use the power of the sun to create artwork. Yes, it is a very slow process, but in a way, it is “therapeutic meditation”. I put on some soft music (which the song birds sometimes sing along with) and get into a relaxing frame of mind. Then, let the sunshine do it’s thing.
My artwork displays a variety of wood burning art that can be created using magnifying glasses & sunlight. There are many more ideas that I have and hopefully, I will get the chance to create them. In other words, “I’ve got a plan formulatin’ in my mind”. It’s very, very important to protect your eyes from the bright “solar beam” while burning and also to protect your skin from so much time in the sun. If you can imagine sitting out in the direct sunlight for 6-8 hrs a day, staring at a bright little solar laser beam, breathing smoke, day after day, then that’s what it’s like. However, If I didn’t enjoy it, I wouldn’t do it. I hope you enjoy checking out all of my artwork & thanks for dropping by. Yes, it’s different, but I’ve always liked being different.

How it’s Made
Solar Pyrography: Wood burning artwork done with a magnifying glass and the sunlight.
Pyrography is the art of creating images by burning the surfaces of wood.
These original pieces of art are wooden surfaces that have been "burnt" by intensifying the sun's rays through a magnifying lens which produces a tiny laser-like beam, when focused on the wood, the resulting "laser" burns the wood's surface. This procedure is very weather dependent and difficult to control. The process requires a very steady hand and lots pf patience. It is very time-consuming & painstaking, often requiring several hours, days, or even weeks, to complete. This is a very unique product in the world of arts and crafts. Each and every piece of work is an "original" and a "one of a kind" creation. No mass productions and no automated copies can be produced.
