Wood Burning
No, this is not how to start a fire, which would be a good life skill to know, this is all about the fun art of wood burning. There was such a lovely snow fall out today that I really wanted a crackling fireplace and some hot chocolate. I didn't get the hot chocolate, but wood burning simulated the fireplace well enough :) It was actually a very enjoyable hobby, it kept my hands warm, and it smelled pretty nice. It was difficult to get precise lines, but with practice and more time I'm sure I could improve. I didn't really have any idea of what to make so I just practiced on some scrap wood and then made a little wall hanging thing. I also accidentally burned a hole in my blanket . . . oops. Other than that though, it went pretty well. Only a few more days left . . . what should next year have in store for me? :)

| My finished project . . . it's not perfect, but it's not bad for my first try :) The practice wood was actually easier because it didn't have the finish on it to gunk up the wood burning tool, so I'll keep that in mind in the future. |
