This is a site where you can see this machine : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Decker-Ci500-Soldering-Station/dp/B000QI329M I never considered using it for backrounds. Andoni thanks a lot for the photos they are helping. I'll give it a try and i'll post the results. | ||

I also have the tv on and i'm not speaking. I'll try make one more decent and post it on you-tube next time and hopefully with my voice explaining the process. So, this one is for those who are very anxious to see the technic. | ||

WHY!?!....Is not understands the form,you are a victim for indigo. Drawing through exercise,you will see three-dimension...Burning wood is not to have touched tip of tool...Wait until the tip of nuances,without reaching the surface wood...A paper in the size 30/40 cm, burning time will be 300 hours...So for starters...Growth good in the art.GOOD BY..... | ||

I am not an expert and i always try the ways more experienced artists advise me to, but sometimes neither the tool nor the way they point out suits me, so i try find my own way. It may not be right, nor wrong, i dont know for that matters, but i always point out that it works for me and this doesn't mean it will work for everybody else. When members ask me how i burned something i'm always glad to show or explain the way i did it, not because i want the credit but because i want to give something back for all this help i'm getting from all of you. So i hope that every member understands that i'm always posting replies or threads as a person who loves and practices this kind of art, not as a teacher but as a fellow burner. | ||

Anyway, I do understand what you were doing, Sharing a technique that works for you because of your love for pyrograp[hy and willingness to help others that may want to try it that way. Thanks for the video, very good for the "first" one. Sam | ||
