HANDMADE & UPCYCLED WOODBURNED CANOE PADDLE RACK/HOLDER
Description : 22 Jun, 2023
CARA JORDAN PYROGRAPHY
I am offering a variety of paddle holders/racks, made by hand from upcycled or reused wood, and decorated with pyrography (literally drawing with fire) or woodburning. These make great handmade gifts (see my other auctions for more styles). Approximately 2.5 by 4 by 0.75 inches. The inner circle fits a paddle with a shaft up to 1.5 inches. There is a pre-drilled hole but no screw is provided (and the hole might have to be enlarged depending on the screw used). As these are handmade, no two are alike. They can be made to order in a variety of styles with any decoration desired.
Artist's Statement
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the art of pyrography involves creation through fire. Pyrography, from the Greek 'drawing with fire,' is achieved by burning images onto a variety of surfaces. Often called woodburning, because wood is the mon surface used, paper, tagua nut, leather, and bone are also conducive to using heat to create this type of art. Images from the natural world are easily born from wood and other organic materials. Fur, feathers, and scales can be created using the texture of the burn that engraves the images into the wood, and the warm tones of a lion's mane or an eagle's feather are brought to life in warm sepia tones. This beautiful drawing technique allows you bine line, colour, and texture to create any images from the natural world or your imagination. Although pyrography has been practiced since ancient times, it became increasingly popular with ladies in the Victorian period for decorating all manner of household objects. Once seen merely as a craft, pyrography is being increasingly recognised as a fine art form.
Although I have no formal training, I have been creating and selling my art for more than ten years. When I was a little girl, I was always inspired by a visit to my grandfather's workshop, a little red barn in the country. He was a folk artist who worked in wood to create animal sculptures and images of life in rural Canada. Recently, I have e interested in pyrography since wood is the perfect canvas for images inspired by the diversity and grandeur of nature and wildlife from Canada and around the world. I use my own photographs of animals as inspiration for pieces that speak to the beauty, majesty, humanity, and souls of all creatures, great and small, that enrich and sustain our world.
