Working the mind

I thought it was difficult coming up with new designs for my pyrography given that I have only so many pen nibs, I think the truth is I got stuck on the first ones and just needed to stretch the mind.

Now that I have this one I can see two more developing from this one I also have to plan more on the bowl shape to accommodate the pattern, this small angled rim is an ideal place to show some embellishment but I do wonder what else is possible.

This bowl is Pohutukawa, its size is 240mm diameter and about 60mm high.

 


 

A whole new world

 This is my new adventure, I have rather a lot of Tawa (this bowl is Tawa) it is lovely in my eyes but it would be bland to many people and certainly improves with a little embellishment work you could say it is a blank canvas just ripe for some action, pyrography is one way to add embellishment, the world of pyrography is huge and here are just a smiggin as my ability is very limited at the moment.

With this pattern I have used 2 different size tips and a steady hand.

This pattern also used 2 different tips and some more of the steady hand.
