I have long wanted to take up wood burning again, as when I was a kid.
I am not sure that it has turned into an obsession yet, but I have spent a good bit of my free time lately, playing, learning, researching, looking for suitable images, etc.
We have had a really mild winter, but that does not mean that I do not still get some amount SAD. This seems to distract me when it is too yucky to saw and glue wood together for other interests.
