I really am here, and honestly I've been feeling so guilty because I haven't picked up my burner since the last San Diego Chop Chop. I know, I should be ashamed! I could give you a bunch of excuses, but I won't. It's my own fault I haven't picked it up. I appreciate you hollering at me to get back to it. I'll listen to you for sure! :wink: Hiltiki, thanks for the nice encouragement. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Saturday at the next San Diego Chop Chop! McTiki, thanks for the compliments! That's so neat what you said about my designs reminding you of Flemish Flair. I'm so inspired by the Maori designs that I'm really drawn to swirls and patterns like that. I'm trying to broaden my horizons though and create some different patterns. There's so many ideas in my mind I'm looking forward to trying them out. Hewey, thanks to you too! It's interesting what you said about not carving what you've marked out. I guess for me it depends on what I'm burning on actually. When I burn on Bamboo I just free hand it and don't mark anything. When I burn on a nice flat piece of palm however I feel like need to draw out the pattern first to make sure I have everything sized right and symetrical. Somehow the palm seems more intimidating because the ones I've burned were these beautiful pieces that Buzzy made for me and I wanted them to be extra special. Clarita, thank you for the nice compliments too! I really appreciate it. I haven't see you post in a while either, and am looking forward to seeing more candles! Well Buzzy got me a new tool box for Christmas! It's a really cool one like his, and I absolutely love it. I had all my burning stuff in a little travel bag before, and I was really growing out of it. Buzzy also got me a new pen for my wood burner, and I'm going to be testing that out real soon. So far my favorite pen to use is the Rounded Point Skew, and this new one is the Micro Round Skew. It's so nice and small I can't wait to see how it flows through the curves of those swirls. I'll let you know how it goes! Zaya
