Sue's burning my work again.

[Bodrighy]

Main club night tonight so off I go to come back home and find that Sue has been at it again burning this



And making this out of it


The spalted ash looked dirty rather than attractive so I have to say it's a vast improvement IMHO.

It's 7" diameter, 2 1/2" tall and approx 4 mm thick.

Pete, you have to go more often to the club
Sue has done some gorgeous work, really lovely, I admire her burning work.

All I can say is you had better stay out of her way a bit more often Pete.
Excellent work Sue, the amount of effort to produce a 'negative' design over such an area shows a considerable amount of patience and concentration. The pattern balance is good a very striking random autumnal fallen leaves look.

 

[yellowbelly]

Awesome
So how long do your club meetings go on for :lol: ?

 

[mark sanger]

nice work there Pete

 

[Bodrighy]

Thank you Mark. The old proverb about silk purses and sows ears comes to mind. I am going to raid my 'reject' box to see what else she can breathe some life into :lol:

That looks really good and I love the balance of the background.

It is difficult to get into the bottom of a shape like that and keep it correct and ash is definitely not an easy wood to pyro, so well done to Sue!!

Mind you, the original bowl is OK for me too

Lovely pyrography there - and so difficult to do deep down inside an opening like that. I agree that the pyrography really improves the piece and makes it come alive.

Like that very much Pete and congrats to Sue looks very nicely done. Whats the finish on the pyro?

These just have buffed sealer on them at the moment. I'll probably polish up with Ren wax.

That is some lovely pyrography work, there. :lol:

 

[skeetoids]

Think I'll be taking up pyroing,

Sue, these guys warned me about the slope but your pushing me faster.

Excellent work and a deadly team effort.

Well done,

Lee

 

[Jonzjob]

If you do fall down the slope of pyro Lee you would be better of with a hot wire machine rather than a solid tip type. It is a lot more controllable.

How come you haven't shown everyone the butterfly one Pete? That's a beauty toooooo!!

Love it!

 

[Paul.J]

That is a vast improvement to the piece Sue :wink: :lol:
I bet you can't wait for Pete to go out so you can get on and do the burning :lol:

 

[Silenus]

I wish I had such patience and talent. I'd say you should leave a few others lying around next time you go for a wander or meeting. Lovely. Not something I've seen done often either. I think it looks all the better and more unusual for the leaves being left pale like this.

Some of us find it hard enough just to scribble their own name or little cartoon face with these things, nevermind a whole pattern in negative.

Hmm. Sue has produced some lovely work, but I think for once I preferred the ungilded lily.
