One of the perks of doing such personal work is seeing the horses changing over time.
While my stall plaques are designed to last a lifetime, we all know these guys keep growing and changing!
Our horses (and the other animals) are part of our family, centerpieces in our world. They deserve to have their unique personalities and colors shown off: from their stall doors to our living room walls!

Again, we're beyond impressed with our horses signs. Wood burning artistry at its finest. We're happy to say She's been doing plaques for us since we began and she also made our donation Box. Thanks to Rachel Foster. Never disappointed. https://www.facebook.com/share/rKmtHTiFVgoRFqYD/?mibextid=qi2Omg

Close up you can see the texture of the burned pieces- photos never do pyrography justice, but I try! It can be a tactile experience.
Bauer is a handsome boy who very much deserves this handsome stall sign ❤️

Helloooooo!
This summer is FLYING by!
🥂 Here's to these last stretches of hot summer days and rides home in the dark; trucks full of sleeping kids and dogs, trailers full of quiet horses.
***
It's been a few months of spending more time in the arena than the studio. I also enjoy keeping summer for projects donated as various show awards and to non-profit auctions, so there aren't a lot of orders happening.
That said, I'm working on some experimental pieces and developing new techniques with gunpowder and flammable paints, so stay tuned!
I'm beginning my planning for the holidays- and hoping I can stay focused enough to get everything done that I'd like!

Originating in 18th century Japan, Shou Sugi Ban is the art of preserving wood by charring it with fire.
I'm using a new torch to fully burn the edges of my work, resulting in better weatherproofing than I could ever achieve with stain and varnish!
Looking forward to LARGE burned pieces with more control and a safer flame.

Miss Scarlett is all ready for mailing... this little chocolate pony is just adorable and waiting to be ridden at K'Lorne Acres in central Michigan!
