Adding mixed media elements to a wood burned piece is so much fun. The options are literally endless.

The image here is wood burned first, then holes were drilled, and then I used thread to create patterns that mimic the wood burned patterns! Imagine this with other rope materials (such as iridescent thread or simple twine…)

Have fun with it and think outside the box!

One thing you want to keep in mind is that you should almost always do your pyrography first, then add your mixed media. It is not safe to burn on unnatural surfaces. Grab your Pyrography Safety Guide to stay safe while burning!
