The Poem that inspired this piece, "Make Yourself at Home"

Grass welcomes the bottoms of your feet; lush jade comforting the spaces between your toes and musk from the woods fills your nose

You've been here before 

Fungi breaks through fallen branches, their forms growing elegantly before your eyes

Bark begins to split and break for the strange matter to consume and claim its ground

The forest blanket awakens to tickle the soles of your feet and urges your body forward, the opening that let you in entangles itself closed behind you

Vines submerge from the bed of earth and wrap around the oak giants, the soft evergreens and their fungal residents

We've been waiting 

The whispers stay close to your ear, a soft breath that starts at the tip of your ear and runs miles down your spine

The beautiful forms that grew from the organs of the trees are suddenly sprouting in your palms

Your arms have become vines of ivy and roots have taken over your legs and the veins that once ran under your skin, plunging into the ground, so far deep through the earth that it could touch the waves of the ocean who's whispers send your eyes to rest

Make yourself at home 

Process

All original and custom art is diligently designed, drawn and hand-burned by pyrography artist Hannah Veiga. She has spent years honing her skills as an artist and practicing the techniques she uses today to render distinctive compositions inspired by the nature that surrounds us, giving sustainably sourced wood a second life as unique works of art.

Each piece of wood is cut and sanded by Hannah up to a super smooth 320 grit to create the perfectly primed surface for burning. Using a state of the art wood burning system, the artist yields heat-controlled metal tips to manipulate burn marks into an intricate, hand-drawn design.

A UV protective finish is applied to nourish the wood and ensure the integrity of the artwork.

Specifications

The wood used is raw-cut and live-edge, kiln dried to a low moisture reading and then sanded up to 320 grit by Hannah.

Dimensions listed are in inches, measured from edge to edge of the wood including the bark. If the piece is square or rectangular, measurements will be shown as Height x Width x Depth. For round pieces, measurements are displayed as Diameter x Depth.

Each piece is finished with a hook on the back, appropriate to hold the weight of the piece. Hardware for handing is not included. For heavier pieces over 5lbs it is recommended to use a drywall plug/anchor.
