Pyro-graphic, Fluid-Acrylic Dog boxes

Using pyrography and fluid acrylic paints, I created a series of cat boxes and then some dog boxes. The lines burnt were looser than previous works and so the paint took centre stage.  I had worked this year on getting well and thus worked on cat and dog boxes when I could. They are all in the Maggiolly show.

Hopefully others will see the soulfulness in the dogs.

And then, she adds a button, beads or thingamabob to the centre. voila!! Then she adds them to her other creations.  More later.
