My First Commission

My first commission was for a door numberplate. I wanted to add the number in pyrography, but they wanted the shiney metal number to be added to the disk.



To protect it from the weather I added 3 coats of varnish.


There is a bible verse on the back, which won't be seen by callers. But I always think hidden messages are a great thing to find in years to come.

Easter Swapportunity

An on-line community that I take part in are having an Easter Swapportunity, swapping gifts with each other.

I made these two wooden eggs to travel south to Jill. I forgot to photograph them first, Jill very kindly took pictures and emailed them back to me. Thank you Jill
4 shots, 2 eggs.

Jo & Lukas, getting married today.

Off to the wedding this afternoon of my two dear friends, Lukas & Jo. Spent an hour or two in the middle of last night on my next Pyrography project.



Wishing you both a FANTASTIC day - and hey look, the sun is blazing down outside already.

Tiger Box


Project Number 2

At the time of writing I can not publish this blog, for once I have made a gift well before it needs to be given. This will be set to auto publish the following day...

My challenge with this box was to get a main picture in the foreground without it being broken by the handle, but to then complete a scenery without the handle looking too odd.

Still to varnish this item, I will remember my error from last time.
