Clever Creations
Wood Burnings and More
by MeLinda: Artist/Owner

 

 I am a United States Air Force Veteran, and here is my story about Clever Creations:   One day, in 2019, I set out to find my true calling in the art  world. I tried many forms of art:  painting with acrylic and oil, decorating wine bottles, making layered  pictures using a Cricut and card stock, drawing caricatures, and engraving glass. I really enjoyed all of those things and still do; however, they were not what  I was looking for.

​

 One day, I was on YouTube watching a guy doing wood burning, and I thought to myself, 'I can do that.' So, right away, I went on Amazon and purchased a pyrography machine.  When the machine arrived, I was so excited to get started that I set the machine up right away and started burning my first picture.  As I was burning the image, I was amazed at how real it looked. At that moment, I knew that pyrography was my true calling.

​

I showed some of my work to family and friends, and they were all impressed and told me my work was amazing and I should try to sell my art. I needed to come up with a name to register for art shows. I started thinking about it and decided on Clever Creations.
