delburt0 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 THATS EXCELLENT she should start doing it for a living , she can buy your carts then. GIVE HER A PAT ON BACK FROM ME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 thankyou for the nice comments fellas , she is pretty talented isnt she , the burning is done on a chopping board , but will be hung like a picture , she has done a few commissions ( mainly motorbikes for bike clubs) but its only the second dog that shes burned , the total time taken was around ten hours but the actual time burning was around eight hours , she already works from home now doing restoration work on high quality leather furniture and buying and restoring furniture , some of the things she does are real works of art , the leather work and wood burning are a hobby more than anything , but she would love to do it full time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I wondered why it was" Black over Bill's mother's" it must have been her A talented woman. She'll have to do some more and try a craft outlet. atb Paladin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I wondered why it was" Black over Bill's mother's" it must have been her A talented woman. She'll have to do some more and try a craft outlet. atb Paladin hopefully she will be setting up her own website soon , the only problem with wood burnings is that its impossible to be competetive with prices when you compare it to laser burning/cutting wood , id much rather pay more and have something homemade but a lot of folks just want the cheapest option.

LesleyW Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 If she wants any help or would like to get in touch with other pyro-nuts there's an online Pyrography Forum where she would be more than welcome. I probably can't put a link here, but if she just Googles "pyrography forum" she should be able to find it. If not, PM me and I might be able to post it in a Private Message. Lesley.

NickB65 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Set her up on eBay and start selling some of her stuff as she has a talent and that will go well on such a site. Ever thought of going to some craft events where she can sell and demo at the stall..... if not then think about it as the outlay is not that bad but the potential is very good. Excellant work....... some of the best I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellant work....... some of the best I have seen. she said thankyou for the compliment , she already sells a lot of furniture on ebay but the burnings are mainly of motorbikes and are commisions , im guessing that the stall fees at craft fairs are pretty high ?.
