Pyrography - Wood Burning Fun 2

Well, finally got around to working on my 5 gallon Red Wing crock lid.  Still may need some work but I believe I like this one. 

The picture was from watching our cat Isabel as she sleeps, or as she is better known, "Izzy".

My first 2 gallon crock ended up being given away as a gift so I was lucky enough to find another 2 gallon crock, which means, of course, new wooden canvas for me!!

I know the pyrography lids may not seem to go with the crocks, but I like the extra interest it brings to them.

If the crock is going to have a functioning lid, why not have some fun with it.  Right?!

Cats, Mother Earth's Tree of Life and Plates

Thanks to a very talented friend, Jeffery Guin, who is a fabulous artist, I tried my hand at painting on clay with black glaze. Now, please keep in mind that I haven't done any kind of artwork in years, so be kind....

Most people seem to like the cat plate that I painted. It was great fun...though challenging. Izzy, our kitty model, kept trying to run off with my paint brushes.


My son & I liked the other plate I painted best. "Mother Earth's Tree of Life". Both were fun to try a hand at.
