Julie Bender, Creating Art from Heat and Wood.

Julie Bender’s art grabbed my eye as her talent is immediately evident and expressed exquisitely through the use of heat and wood; i.e., pyrography.

“Pyrography, the art of burning or scorching on a natural surface was an art form practiced since the dawn of recorded time by Egyptian and African tribesmen fascinated by the mysterious beauty and power of fire. Defined in traditional terms, pyrography is the art of drawing with fire; using a heated tip or wire to burn or scorch designs onto natural surfaces such as wood and leather.”

Julie’s portfolio includes Equine, Canine, Wildlife, and Avian. Wouldn’t you love to have some of her art in your collection?

‘Photo shoot’ of Sally Gummoe’s 30-year-old mare.

Didn’t know I was having my picture taken while I was taking this photo, but I’m glad it was! By the way, I am wearing my new Ariat Heritage X Western Boots from Country Outfitter again.

The beautiful ‘senior’ mare belongs to Sally Kresser Gummoe, the author of “Spirit of the Happy Trails of My Life.”
