One thing that I think we should be reminded of is the respect for copyrights. The web has a reputation for people pirating images and material that others have worked hard to create. I've found in most cases that asking an author for permission of use is given. In the few cases it is not, then I oblige the request...just as I would hope others would do with material I wish to protect.

We are going to password protect the readership of this newsletter in the future to reduce the chances that the material is "
lifted" without permission.

 

 

This time of the year many people are busy preparing for all the various Holidays and either not doing much pyrography or burning up a storm for gifts!

The project section in this issue contains some easy to make items that can be augmented with pyrography and used as nice gifts. They don't take a lot of time and use readily available materials.

Smoke Rings

What the heck is this section? Well, I thought that there should be an area where folks can post short articles of interest that don't fall into any of the other categories. So submit your thoughts and we will see if we can keep this section going. Heck you even get another free link, which will help with the Search Engine rankings and they have a long life because the Applied Pyrography Newsletters are kept on the web.

 
Well,the holidays are just around the corner. That means decorating and gifts. Pyrography is a great way to enhance or personalize a decoration or special gift. The work will be around long after it is done. I have a small hand carved round container that contains about a dozen hand carved jack straws. Simple items, mainly tools like a hammer, ax, ladder,etc. The container is a cylinder with a removable top and was probably bought as such, and a small design was carved into it. It has a date written into the inside top of Dec 25, 1862. It was done by my great great grandfather who was a whaler and light house keeper. Whether it was made on a whaling voyage ( they were usually years) or in a light house, I don't know. What I do know is everyone is fascinated with it and it stirs memories of the man who made it, and who is long gone.

So what does the hand carved jack straws have to do with pyrography? Just a reminder that a personal item that is enhanced with the art of someone, will provide a memory for future generations who we don't even know. So if you make a burning on a cutting board, make a clock that has some woodburning, or any other type of object that contains a personal touch -it will be appreciated long after we are gone, and stir the memories of those who see it.
