Buy Pyrography Workbook: A Complete Guide to the Art of Woodburning (Fox Chapel Publishing) Step-by-Step Projects and Original Patterns for Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced Woodburners First Edition by Sue Walters (ISBN: 0884834997800) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: This book covers everything pyrography well. - I’m completely new to pyrography so just picked this book at random because I liked the cover! Well I am so impressed. So much information and tips through out the book. Sue Walters has put together a complete ‘how to’ book that is very easy to read and reference. There are three projects that she talks you through - beginner level, intermediate and an advanced. She gives advice on what equipment you need, various types of materials you can work on, how to use nibs and care for them. Well there is just so much information for me to tell you about I’d have to write a book too! If you are new to pyrography then this is a great book to start with, but even if you have been doing it a while I am sure you will find something new in here. I will include a photo of my very first attempt at pyrography and I learnt everything from this book.i can fully recommend you acquire this amazing book. I’d give it 10 stars if I could! Review: Could be the best book on pyrography anywhere - I purchased this book on pyrography and then bought the book recommended by a lady at Peter Child called Step by Step Pyrography by Bob Neill. I think this book by Sue Walters blows the other books right out of the water. Not only is Sue's work absolutely stunning and inspiring, but the instruction is excellent. There is a full page of texture samples, for example, and then each sample is explained so you can try to achieve the same effect. Plus there are fabulous projects with drawings to trace at the end of the book. The projects are: 1. Ducks flying over bullrushes (a beginner's project with 8 pages of excellent descriptions about how to create the textures in the scene. 2. Profile head of a golden eagle (intermediate, with 8 pages of information about shading in general, using a blade for highlighting, shading feathers and producing a realistic eye). 3. The wolf image on the cover (advanced, with 14 pages on re-creating the design including detailed information on the nose, eyes, fur, plus the textures of the wood and rock in the background). At the end of the book is a whole chapter devoted to drawing (with pyrography) different animal coats and another on combining pyrography and acrylic paint, which, by the way, looks fabulous. Finally there are additional patterns to use - a pair of chickadees (remember the author is Australian), a fawn, an owl, a panda, a polar bear, some kind of marsupial, a squirrel, a tiger, a howling wolf and a pair of grazing zebra. You should know two things before buying this book, however. 1. Sue uses a pyrography tool with a wire nib as available from Peter Child, not the kind of pyrography tool that doubles as a soldering iron. You will want a drawing nib, a flat shader, a skew and a spoon nib if you want to do everything Sue does. The soldering-iron type of machines just don't do as good a job. 2. You need to be interested in creating art. If you just want to do very simple stuff, then the book by Bob Neill is better for you.

Ich habe es mir auf die Kindle App geladen und kann damit super übersetzen,da das Buch ja auf Englisch ist. Es wird alles genau beschrieben und ist einfach zu verstehen. Ich kann das Buch mit besten Gewissen nur weiterempfehlen
