All these pieces are Pyrography on vegetable tanned cow or buffalo hide leather.
A detail of the "Great Migration" where the brand can be seen in the hide used to create this piece of art.
Marsha used only vegetable tanned cowhide leather to produce her incredible pieces of art. Until a friendly visitor at an Art Festival gave her a piece of bison or buffalo leather. The single bull buffalo is burned on that piece of buffalo leather. Now she is hooked and has found a source for tanned buffalo hides. Stay tuned for many more pieces burned on this rich and historical material.
The Ranch’s original brand and the original cow # brand can be seen on the “Great Migration” piece.
After the image has been burned by hand with a handheld wood burner the leather is then conditioned with a mixture of bee’s wax and coconut oil.
