The Branding Process
I scan the image of the drawing into my computer and place the text digitally. Then I print it out and use it as my guide for placing
letter templates on the actual work.
I use transfer paper to trace the outline of each letter (in red below) as a guide for the branding iron.
And heat them by placing them directly on an oven burner.
I select the metal letters (branding irons) I’m going to use. I designed this font myself.
I attach a magnetic dowel rod to the hot irons allowing me to control where I’m placing them on the drawing. I press down on
the drawing using the transferred letters as my guide.
