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 of 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.
