Exceedingly diddy writing, all done with a hot wire.

So enjoyed creating this Celtic cross.
Decided to put 2 verses from Numbers. The verses seemed just TOOOO long, until I had this cunning plan.

I even had room for my wee man.

Celtic Cross & Numbers 6 verses 24-26

Time to update with some recent pieces.

The Rock

My local drinking hole.

Not quite pyrography, different medium.

Psalm 32:7

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.

Project Number 3

As yet, unvarnished - another birthday gift which was ghiven this morning.

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.

Box for Christmas

I have dabbled with the idea of Pyrography in the past, and we decided this year to include a Pyrographical item in our list of gifts to be given. This was my first attempt at doodling with the Pyrography Iron.
Made a huge mistake when I decided to varnish the box, doing so late at night before wrapping it to go under the tree. I varnished it closed.
Fortunately we tried looking inside the box just before wrapping it. The lid was glued very firmly shut.
Being softwood I could not prise it open, eventually I discovered placing a carving knife the full length of the sealed openning the bonding easily gave way. Phew!
