pyrography

A footed teapot turned thin from a single piece of maple, carved, pierced, pyro-textured and colored with airbrushed interference paint. The lid, two cups and saucers all made in the same manner. The teapot measures 4-1/2" x 7" x 4". Thank you for looking!

Done with Cynthia Gibson, who really deserves most of the credit. Green Bradford pear, about 7"h

"Spawning Coral" The spawn is about to explode into the warm waters and be carried with the current to start a new life for the reefs. Bradford Pear, turned, hollowed, and pyrographed, approx 3.25"dia.

Spring Tulips was inspired by some craftsman style pottery photos I ran across. Breaking from my usual mold I decided to try some new ideas which included my first attempt at doing feet on a piece. The field texture was done with a tiny carbide ball tip. The colors are mixed TransTint dyes...

Navajo legend says that a deity carries the sun across the sky on his back and then hangs it on a peg to cool off. After it is no longer glowing he carries it back east during the night. I apologize for the bad iPad picture. Hopefully, I will have a chance to get a better picture before it is...
