02/13/2010: "Pyro"

Playing around some more with woodburning.



I'm thinking I should prolly add some sort of border to the top and bottom... debating whether to add detail to the tails on the fish.

Got some more bottles... trying to decide what I'm going to paint on them. Got base colors done tho - blue and purple (really sucks having to mix paint).

And because of some things that happened my unit's got a no alcohol order, so I'm going to have to not do any more of these or start using non-alcohol bottles - two of the ones I have right now are pasta sauce.. should make nicer vases with the wider mouths and bottoms, so they won't get so tipsy as the smirnoff bottles. I hope.

You seem to be doing fine with your projects without any help from me, but how about some bamboo or something in just the corners?

It really didn't take all that long, maybe about an hour of actual burning? I had to wait quite a while to switch out tips in the middle, though (going from the tip for lines to the shading tip).

Cuz the picture's kindof small its hard to tell that the grain was kicking my butt at some points - the tip would catch and leave me with a big black blob, and it took a bit to get the shading consistent too.

But, overall, not too bad, I don't think.

30 days.

Very nice, I like it. Looks like alot of work though. How long did it take? How long does the no alcohol order last?
