- 95. 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.
- 96. I use transfer paper to trace the outline of each letter (in red below) as a guide for the branding iron.
- 97. I select the metal letters (branding irons) I¨m going to use. I designed this font myself. And heat them by placing them directly on an oven burner.
- 99. 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.
