[Woodcarver] Pyrographic Portraits

[Woodcraft Shop]

Hi Sylda,

There is a book out by Nedra Denison titled:

"Lifelike Pyrography from Photographs".  It has been quite popular since 
we've been carrying it. (over 2 years)

The book runs $19.95 and our order number is 978601.  As with all the books 
we sell, if it's not quite what you want, you're welcome to return it.

To see some of Nedra's great work go to:  www.nedraspyrography.com

Click on "Pyrography" then "Pyrographic Portraits".

Hope this is of some help, Sylda.  When it comes to art, "sorta scared" 
shouldn't be in your vocabulary.  Go for it ..... it's only a piece of 
wood!  :o)

Hi, All, I don't remember if I told you -- I've shown the woodburnings and
jewelry I've made in the last 3 weeks.  I had woodburned some "people"
pictures from scroll saw patterns and from "pencil drawn" pictures in 
books.
I got lots of great comments from many different people -- I sold the John
Wayne picture from the scroll saw pattern, but no others.  The pictures 
from
the book received many flattering comments, but no buyers.  I did have many
inquiries about burning pictures of people from family pictures.  I have
never attempted that, but guess I'll try some of my family.  You are all so
acknowledgeable, talented and helpful that I'm requesting your input.  Do
you have any tips, knowledge, where to find info or whatever you would deem
helpful?  I want to try, but am sorta scared.  What's your advise?  I've
seen some great burnings using the dot,dot,dot method of shading, but am 
not
happy with it for me and would prefer using a more realistic method.  What
is the general opinion?
Thanks in advance,
Sylda Nichols
