Tiger, tiger burning bright
In the forests of the night ...

...or however that poem goes. This tiger isn't on fire but I did burn him -- with my woodburning set. This is the final version of:
Step one: [link]
and
Step two: [link]

I think I like woodburning simply because I have to slow down to do it. You have to stop and let the iron heat back up and then stop and let the stains dry, otherwhile the colors puddle and stuff like that.

I don't know if I'll take this to ConDFW or not. My son Paul is all for selling it but my hubs ~wdh61 has been making this pouty face and hinting around about the empty wall in the Scout room.

Woodburning, Pantone wood stain markers, and Sharpie oil-based markers on 12"x12" birch plywood.

You got the first couple of lines right, except for the spelling (though that's no big deal). The first stanza goes:

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Here's the rest of it.

As for the image, you've got quite a skill there. I can imagine this must've taken days or weeks to finish. I find the colouring in the eyes, in particular to be quite striking. The only thing I can see that's a little less than optimal is where the two ear tips overlap the blue border - they're a bit hard to see. Other than that, it's a great piece.

Wow that turned out great! I've been following the process and it's pretty cool. Pouty husbands, cute. Make him think you sold it then whip it out on his birthday, haha.

LOve the colors, especially on his eyes. I agree in what purplegoldfish said. You're so good in every medium!
