I have a new toy! I saw this in Lidl of all places, and figured it sounded like fun. Who doesn't like burning things?
It is a lot harder than it looks. Making dots is relatively simple, but even looking lines are tricksy.
Anyway here is my practice piece
And a small chopping board (just a cheap one from Asda). Like I said, mostly dots.
Naomi seemed to get the hang of lines better than I did and made herself a "Box of Many Fandoms".
Here you can see "Not all who wander are lost" in elvish, a Supernatural anti-possession symbol, and the Avengers logo. It also says "Hello Sweetie"
in circular Gallifreyan on the lid and Dracarys on the back. I can't begin to imagine where she gets her geekiness from can you?
Looks ok to me Christine but then I do not do straight. Naomi certainly has inherited her mothers genes. Love the smell of burning wood hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI think it looking great, especially the bread/chopping board.
ReplyDeleteOr even looks, lol!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. You wouldn't think they were first attempts!
ReplyDeleteWell done to you both, the little heart practice piece is lovely. your craft stall at the local sale will be full of beautiful things this year.
ReplyDeletewow! That looks great!
ReplyDeleteThese look like great fun! Your breadboard looks very professional and Naomi's box is amazing. She has the best taste in books and films.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if my son would like to date an older woman in a few years? I must have a geek for a daughter-in-law!!
Ooooh these look lovely Christine. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations :)
ReplyDeletefabulous! I got a Dremel Versatip with pyrography tips for my birthday, but I haven't yet properly tried it out... love your blog, new follower
ReplyDeleteOh, I've never been to Cornwall. I must take my daughter back to the UK. Well, she actually wants me to move us there. LOL
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you through GYB. I hope you have had as much fun as me visiting all the great blogs. (Mine is about embroidery.)
