I suppose I should have watched my grammer better and said a picture THAT my daughter took. I'll certainly watch my comments in the future Quote
teachnlearn Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 I occasionally like to sketch with pencils, with different hardness. Your control of shading and tone burning wood is beautiful. Your work makes me want to investigate pyrography one day. RJF Scrollcrazy 1 Quote

LarryEA Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Great talent. Just a dream for me. What wood do you like to use. Have you ever used a entry level burner? Scrollcrazy 1 Quote

Have you ever used a entry level burner? Thanks Larry! I like to use birch plywood. It's very smooth for burning. My husband built me a wood shop so I can cut all my projects. I love the whole process of getting the wood ready to burn. My shop is my haven lol. As far as the burner, I started out with a Walnut Hollow Versa Tool. It was a fine pen style burner and it was good for beginers. I found that it didn't hold it's temperature very well. It took a while to come back up to temp after burning just a little while. It was frustrating. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Colwood Detailer. I love it!! Instant temp recovery and it has a whole slew of tips. Best purchase I've ever made for my projects.

spirithorse Posted October 15, 2019 Report Posted October 15, 2019 Absolutely beautiful work, Becky, I know I replied before but, wanted you to know that I should have praised your work more highly instead of rushing to tease you a little. Glad you took the teasing with no hard feelings and I hope you take all the kind remarks you are getting to heart because you are an exceptionally gifted artist. God Bless!

rustynail Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 Scrollcrazy, love the work, but can I ask how you are getting the picture to the wood for burning? Thanks Scrollcrazy 1 Quote

Thanks My methods are pretty basic. I convert the picture I'm using to grayscale on my computer and print it out. Then I just use grafite paper to trace the outline and most prominate features. Once those lines are on the wood, it's pretty easy to fill in the details. One thing I almost always do is, when I get to the shading, I turn the wood and reference picture upside down. That way you can actually see the shading better. Thanks! Quote
