Technique of burning inscriptions

Pyrographic calligraphy can look very impressive on signs, decorative plates, posters, souvenirs, and many other items. In order to burn some inscription, you can use a writing pen, a special calligraphy pen or a spoon-shaped retoucher. In some cases, an oblique pen is used to make large letters more embossed. The methods of burning letters with these tips were described above, but here we will consider the general issues of applying inscriptions with a pyrograph.

If you have good handwriting and a steady hand, you can outline the contours of the handwritten lettering on the blank. Come up with a simple font that would be comfortable to write on wood. Using a ruler, draw a line on the wood with a pencil in the place where you want to place the inscription. Now, also with a pencil, beautifully draw letters on this line, leaving slightly widened gaps between them, if possible constant. If you do not want to write directly on the wood with a pencil, you can attach tracing paper to its surface with adhesive tape and circle the letters through it, leaving an extruded mark on the wood, after making sure that the inscription is located in the right place.

Set the pen temperature to a fairly high temperature so that you can leave the darkest and deepest marks with it. To get such traces, you have to work very slowly. As always, before burning white, practice on the "draft".

When the letters are burned out, remove the pencil marks with an eraser.

Carefully bend the nozzle by pressing it against a piece of waste wood at the same angle as you burned it, but turning the top of the pyrograph handle in the opposite direction. Now, holding the handle as usual, you will burn with the very tip of the nozzle, which will give you a much finer line. With the temperature significantly reduced, burn out the shadow of each letter, making sure that the distances from the letter to the shadow are constant.

For those who are not friends with calligraphy and prefer to burn, having a quality reference point, a computer and a printer will be invaluable tools. You can perform various text manipulations, rotate your words with a text program to display them at the angle you need.

You can apply inscriptions in another way. Buy an alphabet stencil at the stationery store. On the prepared surface with a sharp soft pencil, draw the contours of the letters with a thin line and carefully burn them out. With light movements of the nozzle in the direction from the edge, tone the letters, making the transition from dark to light tone as you approach the center.

Then tint a second time, moving the nozzle with less pressure and setting a lower temperature. For the third time, do the same, setting a very low temperature. So you get a three-dimensional font.

With practice, you can do this job very quickly and accurately.

Font burning

Sometimes it becomes necessary to make an inscription on a wooden product made in a folk arts and crafts circle. Such an inscription can be obtained by burning. This requires an electric burner - a metal pin with a wooden handle. The pin is heated by means of an electric current with a voltage of 2-4 V. In this case, a transformer is needed that would allow changing the operating voltage and adjusting the heating temperature of the tip.

In contact with the surface of the wood, the red-hot pin leaves a charred mark, colored, depending on the duration of cauterization and the degree of heating of the pin, various black-brown shades.

It is necessary to burn letters carefully and carefully, since mistakes made during burning are very difficult to correct.

It is better to burn inscriptions on relatively soft, finely porous woods: linden, poplar, alder, birch. Hard wood, such as oak, beech, pine, ash, spruce, larch, in which soft layers alternate with very hard or resinous ones, makes it difficult for the burner to work, does not allow achieving the same depth and color of the burnt strokes.

The wood must be well dried so that the surface of the product does not warp during burning.

The inscription is first made on paper, then transferred to wood using carbon paper. Wood must first be sanded with fine glass sandpaper.

After burning, the surface of the product can be finished with waxing or varnishing, then the inscription will become brighter.

For waxing it is necessary to dissolve one part of natural wax in two parts of pure turpentine, and turpentine is added to the melted wax. Before waxing, remove all dust from the wood with a clean cloth. Then its surface is rubbed with a swab made of a clean cloth impregnated with wax polish, first across and then along the fibers. After 20-30 minutes, this must be repeated, and after drying, the treated surface should be rubbed with a dry, clean cloth to a slight sheen. Lacquering is done with ordinary furniture varnish with the addition of one or two drops of vegetable oil. Prepared, as in waxing, the surface is covered several times with varnish, which is applied with a cotton swab wrapped in a clean linen rag. When applying a new layer of varnish, the previous one should dry well.

Font embroidery

Artistic embroidery is one of the fascinating types of applied art. People with basic knowledge in this area and a minimum of skill can embroider inscriptions on banners and pennants.

Letters are embroidered, like ordinary drawings, on a hoop on a canvas with colored threads (mulina). Embroidery is carried out with a single (Russian) or double (Bulgarian) cross. The font must be chosen with such a constructive construction that would allow it to be embroidered on the canvas. It can be either italic or roman. To preserve the shape of the embroidered letters, their contours are stitched with stitches like a machine seam.

The color of the threads, of course, must be chosen so that the letters are effectively combined with the background. The font is embroidered with threads of one or more colors. For example, one stitch can be made with orange thread and the other with yellow thread.

What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a super light but very realistic burnt text on the skin using two layer styles. So let's get started!

This text effect was inspired by other text effects available on GraphicRiver.
