Woodburning Koi fish

By Annie Holland / November 13, 2010

I haven’t pyrographed anything for a while, so it took some time to get back on track, getting used to holding the woodburner. We moved the furniture around in the living room ( yeah, I’m one of these that love to move stuff around) and now my beautiful spot that I had for woodburning is…

Some September sketches!

By Annie Holland / October 23, 2010

It’s been a while since I showed you the inside of my sketchbook, so here it is again, take a peek! 🙂 Again with the number 13, I really can’t explain it, I’m sorry! It’s definitely subconscious, so I won’t even try.  1. I had to practice making freehand circles, so there you go…Circles. 2.…

In need of a title! ( and Copic’s)

By Annie Holland / October 19, 2010

I usually am very good at thinking of titles for my work, but this one really puzzled me! It’s drawn on a card again, similar to what I did for my husband’s birthday. I drew it using the Prismacolor brush tip markers that I’ve been posting about. This one really, really touches me! I would…

When you have the best teacher what do you do?

By Annie Holland / October 12, 2010

“….When you have the best teacher what do you do? You make her a present and give her a big hug too!…” It became somewhat a tradition for us to give my son’s teachers a wooden pyrographed box with their name ( full of glue sticks ) on the first day of school. I haven’t…

A card? A painting? A carpainting?

By Annie Holland / October 1, 2010

This is my first try to work with the Prismacolor markers, it’s been waiting to be published 2 months already, so I thought it is time. This card was made without a previous sketch. Whatever I drew, it just came to me that way while I was working. The card was present for my husband’s…
