I love the art of pyrography! The way it feels while I burn, the texture when the burn is complete, the longevity of the design and the sustainability of using wood as my canvas! I also love nature, portaging and canoeing. When these two loves met, this is what they created:
a unique (and if desired, functional) art piece!
I added acrylic to this one, since it was specifically made for the Algonquin outfitters paddle art contest! It is meant to be an art piece, not a functional oar.
I am so happy to say that my paddle raised over $300 and went to some great local charities! I look forward to joining in on the next contest and supporting the arts and nature in Ontario.
