Pendants for Burning Man

Jul 28, 2010 14:53

My big art project for Burning Man this year is making pendants! I have about 20 cedar pendants made so far and my goal is to have 40 total done in the next week. Wood burning is a VERY fun craft that I hope to stick with post-BMan as it's actually quite meditative and peaceful. Put on some Dead Can Dance and burn, baby, burn. I love pyrography ( Read more... )

Beautifully done! I have a woodburner somewhere, and while I never used it much, still, it was fun to do on occasion...but these are wonderful! Excellent job!

Thank you, hon! It really is a blissful thing to dive into for a few hours, just making up designs and patterns as you go along. Try it again sometime! The cedar pieces I got from BB&B. The round ones are meant to go on your clothes hangers and the rectangle ones go anywhere near your clothes, to keep moths away. The rectangle ones I cut in half as they were too big, and a bag of 20-24 was only about $8!

I'll have to locate the tool one of these days in storage...! It would be fun to do it again.

BTW, I love the "Peace, Love, and Erect Phalloi" design! ;)

Lovely, bet you could sell those after if you make more.
I'm so jealous...I wish I was going :(

Maybe I could! Not at BMan, of course, but perhaps at a festival someday or something... (*ponders*) You SHOULD be going to Burning Man! Maybe next year... it's a ton of time, planning and $$ but WORTH it.

You could sell them on etsy for sure :). These are great :). I really need to get back into being crafty. I might have to look into learning this, although I already have a bunch of craft projects I should be doing first :).
