Here's another example of repetition as a design foundation, a tree. Still using the same tips of a simple wood-burning tool purchased at a big box store, this is what was produced.
Using the chisel tip, a long line was burned on the surface of this piece of gourd scrap. A line next to the first one, and then one next to that one. They are not measured, or equally spaced. Some extended out like fingers, some longer than others. There are more lines at the bottom than at the top - in fact, the upper lines have very few side-by-side line sets. Most of the repetition happens toward the bottom.
The tip was changed to the leaf-shaped one and those marks became the repetitive burns. Over and over before using markers to color in the shapes (more than one version of a color for variation).
The spray-on seal adds the gloss.
