    Vases with Pyrography

    Well finally got my oil pens and colored pencils. Here are a couple of vases that just have simple woodburned designs on them. The first is a poplar vase with yellow roses. It is 10 1/2" across and 3 1/2" high. Finished with Satin Lacquer. The second is a cherry vase with 2 red roses placed by the LOML. It is 8 3/4" across and 3 3/4" high. Also finished with Satin lacquer. The last pic's are of my final practice pieces before I did these. A blue jay finished with colored pencils and a cardinal which is just burned with no coloring. Still have some learning to do on how the tips I purchased work but it is getting there.

    1+on the cardinal. You are doing a nice job. Next thing we know, you won't be a wood turner anymore. :-(

    Nice work, Bernie. The cardinal really is my favorite, but all very nice. Is that freehand? I have got to fire up my wood burner.

    Bernie,
    In comparing these with your first pyro work it's obvious you've come a long way already! The flowers are really nice, but the birds...WOW...Excellent!!

    Excellent Bernie! I like the bluejay.........one of the prettiest birds as far as color is concerned [I am partial to blue] and the flowers are great. This should step up sales for you!!! Thanks for posting these.

    Nice work... The birds are very nicely done, and I think I'm kinda partial to the natural look of the cardinal. You've definitely got an artistic eye for details.

    Bernie - you are becoming quite the Artist! Nice work on each of them but I really like the Cardinal! Sometimes things work best when the viewer has to use their imagination to fill in the details! Nice work - seriously!

    Hope you are relaxing and enjoying your retirement!

    Bernie, I think you have found your new niche! Very nice, and while I like the colors, the cardinal is the pic. Besides, it is the KY state bird!!

    Great works Bernie!! Like most I prefer the Cardinal because I think the shading shows more artistic ability, but they are all nice.
