Featured Artist Of The Week: BK Inspired

Welcome back and Happy Weekend! After a long week of work (and chocolate hearts) we are finally getting to relax a bit today. During the week I had the opportunity to meet a new artist! Etsy is a great place to meet new people and see some really terrific talent. It is why we and many others like to sell our supplies, art, craft and vintage items there! I would like introduce Maya of BK Inspired. 

You can visit Maya and see her work at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/bkinspired

Maya was nice enough to tell us a little bit about herself and her work:
I have been doing creative things my whole life. It is part of who I am. I have experimented and tried many different types of media but pyrography is what I am most interested in. I was introduced to pyrography about 10 years ago but just opened my Etsy shop a year ago. Pyrography is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning. Pyrography means "writing with fire", from the Greek "pur" (fire) and "graphos" (writing).

Everything around me gives me inspiration. But I enjoy the intricacy of celtic knot and artwork the most. I am continually amazed by the complexity and beauty of each design. I would like to do more of that in my future work. I am also very inspired and motivated by custom orders. I love to hear what customers come up with for gifts for the special people in their lives and I love being a part of that.
