I'm looking forward to seeing you real soon! I'll bring my burner so you can try it out. :) Hewey, how's it going? It was cool, I saw your picture on Marcus Thorn's thread, nice to meet you! One of these days Buzzy and I will get down there to meet you for real. Thanks for checking out my latest sketch! I learned a few things when I did this one. Having an idea in your head is completely different from putting it down on paper. Even though you're working on a practice sketch don't rush, always do your best work. Remember that everything you do is going to be shown on this thread! Benzart wrote: Most of the time when I start a design, it evolves way beyond my original idea to the point the old idea is not recognizable. Benzart, that's exactly it! It's kind of neat actually. I tried drawing some of the design onto the wood first, but then when I actually went to burn it I found that it was distracting so I erased it. The other things I've burned I just freehanded so that seemed more natural to me. I'll see what happens as I go along. I just want to do a good job! RevBambooBen, Hey, it sounds like you know what I mean! Thanks for checking out my stuff. So last night I started burning the edge pattern on the wood, and continued with more detail tonight. Here's what I've done so far... Ok, get our your magnifying glasses! This is from tonight... Little by little! Zaya P.S. Buzzy, I finally figured out the close up mode on my camera! Oh yeah, and look at how beautiful the grain on that wood is. Thank you for making me a perfect piece!
