Summary:
" Although it is often referred to as woodburning, the art of
pyrography
can be worked on just about any natural surface, including
gourds
,
leather
, or cotton rag
paper
. Now Lora Irish, the author of the bestselling Great Book of Woodburning, offers thirty-five amazingly detailed new projects that explore the craft of
pyrography
across the full range of inventive pyro media. Inside her new book, readers will learn the basics of
pyrography
systems, tools, supplies and practice boards. Differences between the various substrates are examined and discussed, including both
wood
and non-wood working surfaces. Irish provides expert advice on temperature settings, fill patterns, hand positions, textures, stroke patterns and more. Chapters are included on creating tonal values, understanding shadows, adding color to your burnings, and finishing the work. Thirty-five new patterns illustrate the application of fine
pyrography
across a wide variety of imaginative media, including vegetable tanned
leather
, dried
gourds
, cotton fabric, artist
paper
, chipboard and papier-mache. Irish is known for her amazingly detailed patterns that positively exude expression, and this book does not disappoint. Each fascinating project includes complete instructions plus photographs of both the finished piece and the work-in-progress across pale, medium, dark and detailed stages"--Provided by publisher.
