Fall Burnt Week 2022
Burnt Challenges are a call to artists of all skill levels to create an original piece of pyrography artwork based on a specific word, or what we like to call, a prompt! Check out Some past challenges here
This challenge is an excellent way for wood burning artists to grow their portfolio, try new things, push their craft, meet other pyrographers, hone their skills, gain followers, sell art, and have a ton of fun while they are at it!
Having a restriction, like following a specific prompt, can really bring out creativity in people. These prompts are known to get people inspired and trying new things. Things they perhaps wouldn’t have tried otherwise.
The challenges are living in the wood burning community on Instagram. Follow us there or join Burn Club+ to get your prompts in advance for the next Burnt Challenge and to suggest your own prompts. We are changing things up this time around, and are excited for you to see what’s new!
Fall Burnt Week 2022
We are so excited to be teaming up with our sponsor, Walnut Hollow, to bring you this new and upgraded challenge that ran from October 24th to the 28th!!
We had more prizes than ever and tried out a fun new way to choose prompts!
The prompts were suggested by the Burn Club+ Community. We got a whole list of really funny and unique but very random nouns + adjectives. To make it even more fun and to keep artists thinking outside of the box, we pulled one noun and one adjective randomly out of a hat!
Below are the featured artists for each prompt:
@brittnibeeart created this adorable little critter and we fell in love.
It’s so whimsical and sweet. All of the little details on the wings, in the fur, on the trees, it’s cute little headband, and those little candy corns it’s crunching on.
So much texture and the way the color was added really makes this piece quite enchanting.
Beautifully done! Please go give @brittnibeeart a follow for more beautiful art in this unique style.
@maggienicoleart created this perfect little piece. We love the fine little details of these germies. The burn is so clean and crisp!
Our favorite part, though, is the glowing aspect. It is so subtle, you may miss it. Do you see it? The germs are little various forms of lightbulbs! 💡 It’s such a cool idea and it is perfectly executed.
Looks just like the bacteria and viruses we’ve seen under microscopes.
Well done, @maggienicoleart. Please go follow this awesome artist.
@calico.callie.ink created this original design, and so much more. For the entire week she has been building on an incredible story that you have to go and read for yourself!
This burn is absolutely beautiful with its textures, and shapes, and shading, and colors, and her storytelling is phenomenal.
Zoom in on all of the beautifully moody details of this piece and then go back to her first post for the week and read the whole story so far.
This piece is brilliant and so creative, we are beyond excited to get to share it with you all. Give @calico.callie.ink a follow!
@theroderickshop called this piece “Ballet of Pines” and we are just obsessed with those elves.
The movement in these dancers, the grain in their skin, and the fact that they use PINECONES as their tutus.
He wrote, “Tonight for one night only the Forest Elves will allow the humans to enter their enchanted wood for the annual performance of the Ballet of Pines - a dance honoring The Royal Conifer at the center of their wood. I was quite touched to be asked to design this year's poster.” It is just incredible that two words, VIBRANT and PINECONES, can bring out this level of creativity.
Just so cool. Please go give this amazing artist, @theroderickshop a follow!
@unamanu_design created this adorable collection and we just love the direction they took this.
Trendy apples throughout history. What a cool concept! Here is what they wrote:
“1250 b.C. A golden apple has become very fashion, many Goddesses desired her (3)
1300 William Tell's apple
1400 Snow White's apple… seriously the most dangerous. There were many fashion victims !
1666 A very serious apple that explained the law of gravity to Newton
1920 J.J.Fitzgerald was the first to refer to NY as the big apple.
1964 A green apple became famous thanks to Magritte
1977 3 guys used a colored apple to make their computer famous”
I love when these prompts are also educational. Great burn(s) @unamanu_design - Everyone please go give @unamanu_design a follow!
