permanent tangent

My son gets migraines, even more than I do. So the door hanger is specifically for him, hope he likes it. I think my failed cat keyrings just show how smooth I need things to get some can get an even burn.

I am now a proud owner of anvil. OK so it’s a mini anvil, but I have decided to try and make my own tips. First tester went well, and I now have can second shader. My coil though, well let’s just say it didn’t go well. I will have to practice that a lot to get it right.

So, the keyrings arrived. A problem has arisen, centering images is not easy. One of the cats is better than the other, but neither are great. I need practice.

The door hanger did not turn out as good as I wanted, at least this side of it, sadly. The main side is the Betty Boop from the other day.

I may do a series of mats with optical illusions, this was a quick tester, and seems ok. I have another to do so will see how I get on with it.

The Celtic Trivet was an interesting little project – and not planned. The design had been intended for something else but ended up being to short. Let’s just call it rustic.

My first attempt at text, moderate success. It looks now I expected it to, but not quite how I wanted it to. So one important thing learned today, things have to be smoother so I need to sand more.

However the cat turned out exactly how I wanted, it that had been smooth it wouldn’t look right!

I purchased the Peter Child Pyrography Machine with some Amazon vouchers I was given. I started a test sheet, which I will play with in the coming months. However this was my first attempt of an actual item. mM friends daughter likes Betty Boop, so this seemed like an ideal one to start with.
