Pyrography on Odd Objects

Will it burn? Pyrography is such a versatile art! You can burn on almost everything.

I have been working on a little passion project over on TikTok of experimenting with pyrography on all kinds of odd things. It has been so much fun.

I usually involve my kids in the process of filming, design, editing, etc… They have been having as much fun as I have been having at using my wood burning tool in new and weird ways.

So far, we have been burning on a lot of different food items, and it has been so interesting to see what burns well, and what does not. I have plans to try burning on so many different objects, so stay tuned for all the weird and the fun.

 

List of what I’ve burned on:

  • a hundred dollar bill

  • paper

  • antler

  • lime

  • pasta

  • mango

  • tortilla

  • radish

  • canvas

  • onion

  • lasagna

  • leather

  • cantaloupe

  • watermelon

  • orange

  • carrot

  • toast

  • potato

  • egg

  • apple

  • pasta

  • denim

For me, making a lasagna with Garfield’s image burned into it has been my favorite. I have also burned Shrek’s face into a tortilla, and burned on mango! Check it out.

I know I am not alone in my experiments. I have seen pyrographers burn on all sorts of odd objects. Who said the wood burning tool was just for wood, anyway?

What have you tried to burn on? What has been your favorite?

As always, safety is important. Protect yourself and those around you when experimenting, and use your best judgement when choosing things to burn. I do my experiments outdoors, with a mask and fan.
