Meet the Maker
Hello friends! My name is Christy and l welcome you to my shop :)
In my handmade shop, I feature unique pieces of home decor that add a little rustic and a little whimsy to your home.
I began my handmade journey of wood-burning artwork on reclaimed wood. The beautiful brown color in my artwork is created with pyrography, "drawing with fire". It is the perfect complement to the reclaimed wood that I use to create rustic wall hangings. All the artwork is wood-burned by hand, using pyrography tools.
When I discovered the incredibly versatile dried gourds, it was love at first sight! I instantly added them to my creative routine. I've always adored pumpkin carving, and here was a similar natural vegetable that will for many years without the shelf life of a fresh pumpkin. The dried gourd shells are very hard and perfect for carving and pyrography!
I use the gourds to create whimsical fall pumpkin characters with a ton of personality. I also enjoy turning the gourds into decorative bowls, vases, and vessels. Each gourd shape is unique, so each gourd piece is a one-of-a-kind!

How it’s Made
How I Create This Extra-Large Rustic Family Rules Sign
1. Material Selection: I hand-select distressed reclaimed wood, always on the lookout for pieces with unique colors and textures that complement each other. These boards have weathered naturally over time, developing a rich patina.
2. Design Process: Crafting this sign is like solving a puzzle. I carefully choose different boards based on their colors and suitability for the font design associated with each family rule. Once selected, I lay out a pattern and transfer each rule onto its respective board.
3. Preparation: The weathered wood is lightly sanded to preserve its natural patina while smoothing the surface for the wood-burning process. I leave slight cracks and nail heads untouched to enhance the rustic texture of the finished piece.
4. Wood-Burning Technique: Using pyrography tools, I personally wood-burn each word onto the boards. This technique creates a beautiful, earthy brown color that complements the rustic aesthetic of the reclaimed wood.
5. Customization: The sign typically includes eleven boards, each featuring a phrase in a decorative font sized to fit nicely on its plank. However, I’m flexible and can adjust the number of boards and fonts according to your preferences.
6. Unique Finish: Every Family Rules Sign is made to order, ensuring each piece is entirely unique with its own rustic weathered finish characteristic of reclaimed wood.
7. Installation: The sign is crafted from solid wood, so it’s recommended to use a sturdy drywall screw for hanging. A sawtooth hanger is already attached to the back, the boards are secured with canvas straps. Upon arrival, simply unroll the sign, hang it on a sturdy nail, enjoy!
If you have any questions or would like to discuss customization options further, please feel free to reach out. I’m here to create a piece that reflects your family’s story and values perfectly.
Warm regards,
Christy

3. Can I use the gourds to decorate outside? These gourds are dried, but I wouldn't recommend letting them get wet with the weather elements. It's best to keep these as "indoor gourds".
4. Can I name my gourd? Sure! If you would like to name a gourd just let me know. This would fall into a custom piece, so I would just need a week or so to create this gourd for you.
