Butterfly book is a beginner friendly project. There is minimal wood burning, but lots of colored pencil work. The artwork was burned onto a wood box shaped like a book. There is a front and back side to the book. Butterfly book tutorial

The horse tutorial explains how to burn the different parts of the horse. Plus it covers the grass and simple background.

I should mention that the techniques work for any color of horse. If the horse is really dark, then burn the horse to a darker color than I did. The opposite is also true.

Abstract Dragonfly pattern
