|
I purchased a woodburning tool at a local store and it has turned out to be something I really enjoy. I made this by tracing different stencil patterns, burning it, and then applied a glaze to seal it and make it shine. I have not burned myself yet.

How about that! It looks so nice. What is it that you're burning onto?

What a lovely and rewarding hobby to have.  My daughter has a woodburning set and burns pictures into wood freehand.

A lady that I work with is a true artist and is able to do that. I purchased one of her woodburned items. I hope to be able to progress to that point after a bit more practice.

Tammy I am really impressed. That is excellent work. I thought about buying one of these sets just to see what I could do with it. Looks like it would be a lot of fun. I just may have to make the purchase afterall. Can't wait to see other pretties that you will make.

That great work. I think we all need a side craft or project to keep us busy during the winter months. My hubby was going to purchase me one about spring time, but I just wouldn't have time then. I just didn't feel it was something that I was going to be interested in. I'm more into crocheting. I'm going to try & find something crocheting or knitting for my daughter & I to keep busy with this winter. Do keep the picts coming I do like the looks of it.

I love crocheting also and have an afghan that I started last winter pulled out of the closet and ready to be worked on again. Nothing like sitting by the fire crocheting and thinking about next year's garden.

That's probably why I enjoyed it so much. It made me feel like a kid again.
