I am so excited to share this pattern with you all! I cannot wait to see your version burned. Below is mine. I created this one piece on a cherry wood slice.

The first one on the left is before adding color. The second on the right was filled in with a light watercolor layer. I was going for a washed/fadded sort of look but it seemed too dull. Especially for the classic California poppy!

So, on this last version below, I added a second layer of paint with a thicker, less watered down watercolor.

Fun fact: This is the very first collaboration between Rachel Strauss, founder of Wood Burn Corner and me, Basia Chmielowiec of @finelinepyro. It came together during a pyrography challenge where Rachel prompted us to burn the poppies she drew. The original poppy design (and also a free downloadable template) can be found HERE.

My love of the mandala definitely inspired this prompt and using the Procreate app on my iPad, I merged Rachel’s poppies into a repetitive circular pattern! Can’t wait to see you burn it!
