Description Woodburned (or should I say nut-burned?) tagua nut of Sephiroth! Much cooler in real life, this photo does not do him justice.

I used a Colwood burner on about medium-creeping toward high-heat. These nuts are very slow to burn and require a lot of patience. Something like this probably takes me at LEAST an hour, (or maybe it just feels like more?) what with all the small details that I have to be careful on and the switching out of nibs trying to figure out which one burns best. This is about an inch and a quarter in width and about an inch and three quarters in height. So it's pretty small.

That is amazing! Do you take commissions or art trades, per chance?

Ok, the pictures I have on file are shown here: [link]

And everything I have left in stock is here: [link]

Please note me if you're interested in a commission or art trade of any sort! I am definitely willing to negotiate if something interests you!

Sorry for the late response - I've been busy trying to organize my charity group!

Yes, I take commissions, and I am open to art trades! It will depend on the trade whether or not I'll accept it though.

As for commissions, prices for these woodburned nuts are $17-20 for a kanji with flowers ([link] ). For an animal or character like Sephiroth, they are negotiable and start at $25 because of the complexity, especially if I need to design the picture myself. The prices include shipping.

If you're interested in something I already have on file, the price will be less since I won't have to design and size something new. Something already in stock will be $13. Kanji and flowers that I have on file but not burned will be $15. Sephiroth will be $20 (including shipping), since he's very time consuming. Give me a few minutes, and I'll see if I can upload what I have...

It certainly felt like it! I'm trying to figure out how to burn darker, which will only take longer!
