Great work Helen, I also see always things to make a pyro of...

That turned out great! Is that on a glasses case? I didn't know you can do pyro on leather. Good job!

Thanks Travis,

 

Yes its a glasses case. I found out a little while ago that the pyro is good for leather as well. I have to turn the machine down to its lowest setting and the range of shades is more limited but it works.

I find it especially handy for making pet identity discs - I have three cats who regularly lose their collars and paying out £6 ($8.00) a time for the new discs was getting expensive. I got some scraps of leather from work and I can turn them out in about 5 minutes a piece. I've done them for friends with dogs as well as the leather stands up to wear and tear quite well.

Ok. I guess I'm the dummy in the bunch. What in sams$#%^ is pyro? It looks beautiful. Now please explain to me how it is done. I don't know what pyro means.

Its woodburning. It uses a electric tool with different tips to burn the image into the wood. I have one but can not use mine to the degree that Helen achieves. Hope this helps a little, maybe one of the "pyro artist"

will chime in to describe it better. This woodburning(pyro) really amazes me. awesome job

Thanks for the explanation. I thought the photo was of a woodburning project, but the "pyro" term threw me. I'd heard woodburning called different things, but never that before. SEE? I'm not too old to learn something new.
