Ginger Jar Box

This is Bradford Pear 4" X 3". I copied the form of a small porcelain ginger jar in our kitchen and came up with some original designs I burned in. It is finished in Antique Oil. I got the inspiration to do some pyrography from Cynthia Gibson's work. I am still struggling with what designs to use as well as the pyrography technique, but need to start somewhere.

You're off to a good start Mike, and as you alluded to, there is a step learning curve to even come close to Cynthia's work.

Mike, you did a great job! I find that design can be the most trying component. Your design is well balanced and executed nicely. Smart idea to use a piece of porcelain or pottery that has a pleasing design. Like anything else, pyro just takes practice. Your shape is killer!
