Cousins Originals - mixed media

WOODCARVING  of the Internationally know, and highly collectible, HITTY doll is a new addition to this site.  The dolls are carved, painted and clothed by hand and in the same manner as the original HITTY doll.

PYROGRAPHY is the unique art of engraving and shading, which include dots and dashes, on multiple surfaces with a hot tool, sometimes called Poker Work.  This method of Ancient Art results in sepia-tone graphics that are most pleasing to the eye. Addition color is sometimes added.   

We 'BURN' beautiful original designs on VINGATE SEWING items, such as Spools, Thimbles, Darning Mushrooms and Needle holders ... all collectibles.  Commissions are welcome.

Pyrographic art on wooden MAGNETS are also a very popular, usable, gift-giving item.  We do commissions for these as well.  See our Magnets Gallery's for ideas.

 Another favorite are our Pyro-engraved wooden SPOONS and SPATULAS.  Great as kitchen decor, unique gift giving and for actual use. We are OK for commissions with these.

PORTRAITS are now being Pyro-engraved (woodburned) on wood up to 8"x10".  These make wonderful one-of-a-kind gifts as well as family treasures and sure to be kept as family heirlooms for centuries to come.

Pictures are  pyro-engraved on small wooden  KEEPSAKE BOXES,  as well as on WOODEN PLAQUES, WOODEN SPOONS.

GOURD ART, all hand drawn designs completed with the PYROGRAPHIC ART method, are extremely interesting, unique and popular.  See www.GourdsGalore.com to appreciate this fine art on Nature's most beautiful canvas's.  There are containers, vases, center pieces and more!  Some custom work available with non-refundable deposit.

NATURE continues to play a part when it comes to using dryed flora, fauna and wood as the center pieces of hand made, heat laminated, Book markers and Wallet cards.  These contain messages of inspiration as well as  generic wishes of "Happy Birthday", "Congratulations", "Best Wishes", etc.  Commissions are welcome, from an individual piece to party or promotional groups.

 ORIGAMI is yet another item of great popularity .  Our Origami Greeting/Note cards   have a generic wish on the front just under an Origami rosette with contrasting background. A must for everyone since all you do is put a wee bit of a note inside and mail.  Again, special commissions can be made to personalize these cards, including your name and address. 

ORIGAMI Christmas Ornaments, made of both paper and dollar bills, are also available.  as well as Swallow Tail Butterfly magnets.

ACEO, ATC, Altered Art, Collectors Art Cards have been added to our listing. These range from the world popular HITTY DOLL to Antique Photos and Interesting Collages. 

 Many more items are made at COUSINS ORIGINALS ... we will be adding pictures, pages and links as things progress and time allows ... so keep a sharp watch out :-)
