This video wouldn't happen without wonderful artists like yourself participating. Thank you! Thanks for the nice comment about the music. I will let my husband know.

Thank you. That is very kind of you to say. By the way, you do amazing work.

@ thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot. I’ve been at it for almost 5 years now and your videos gave me all the building blocks to get where I’m at today. I am forever thankful for you. I have people ask if I do lessons and my answer is always ABSOLUTELY NOT. Because nobody explains things better than Brenda.

Hi Mike, you did just fine. Besides, we all have to start somewhere. I doubt there is a pyrography artist in existence who woke up one day and discovered they could create amazing pyrography artwork. It's takes time. I know you'll accomplish your goals.

Hi DK! Totally agree. This is always my favorite video to create because I enjoy seeing the wide range of subjects and skill levels.

Hi Laura, The creativity and talent artists like you have is why I enjoy creating this video. This video wouldn't happen unless artist like you participate, so thank you!

This video is a lot of fun for me. I really do enjoy seeing what others are doing and having the opportunity to share their (and yours) artwork with the world. Thank you. I'll pass on your kind comment to Todd. Thank you for participating. This video wouldn't happen without artists like you.

First off, welcome to the exciting artform called pyrography. For someone who hasn't been burning long, you did a wonderful job! Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad my videos are helpful. I look forward to seeing your artwork in the next video!

Grazie per le belle parole. Vi ringrazio anche per aver partecipato e spero che lo farete anche l'anno prossimo. Fate un lavoro meraviglioso!

Te creo. Mantengo el video del año anterior en mi computadora y copio y pego las nuevas imágenes en el video. Vi tu nombre y tu obra de arte del año pasado. Haces un trabajo fantástico. ¡Espero ver tu obra de arte el año que viene!

I agree!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I look forward to seeing your artwork next year! Thanks for the kind comment. I'll let Todd know. Thank you again.

Hi Pete, I love creating the viewer art video. It is a lot of fun seeing the wide range of subject matter and skill levels. I also enjoy seeing the improvements repeating artists are achieving. Thank you for the kind words. I look forward to seeing your entry next year!

Glad you enjoyed it. Once a year is plenty. Gives people time to create something, and keeps the video concept fresh and fun.

I really enjoy seeing what other people are doing too. It's why this video is always my favorite to do.

Thank you for the nice comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed the music! I did let Todd know.

It's very enjoyable to see what others have created. I always love working on this video.

@PyrographyMadeEasy it was a great video and their work was amazing!!

This video is a lot of fun to produce. Yes, there are. That's part of the reason it's so enjoyable.

Well, I'll need your credit card number, the deed to your house, and a new car. Or you can wait until Jan 1, of 2026 when I send out the participation info for the 2025 video. By the way, if you choose option 1, you still have to wait for Jan 1st.

@@PyrographyMadeEasy that reply made me laugh. Nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humour 😁

Thanks. I don't let my warped sense of humor out often because I'm always concerned I'll offend someone. Words don't always convey the emotion behind them. Plus, no one sees the evil little smirk on my face when I leave snarky comments that I think are funny.

The viewer art video is a lot of fun for me. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Wishing you and your family much happiness this year

@PyrographyMadeEasy Thank you Brenda

Thank you, Mollie. I'm happy you liked it! Thanks for participating

Thanks. It wouldn't happen without participation of artist like you.

Glad you enjoyed it! It really is my favorite video of the year to do.

Glad it was helpful!

I think it is permanent unless it gets scratched. I still have my test piece of glass and tried window cleaner on it. The matte finish wasn't affected.

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.

Hi Cheryl, Welcome to the exciting world of pyrography. I hope you find it as enjoyable as I do. It will be interesting to see how your painting background influences your burning. I have a drawing background, so I tend to use the pyrography pens the same way I would a pencil. I have an acquaintance who is a painter and sometimes does pyrography. Some of her burn strokes look like they were applied with a paint brush. I tried to mimic the look, but couldn't do it. Thank you for the kind words on a video I find a bit cringey. We all have to start somewhere. I doubt cringey is really a word, but I'm using it anyways. :)

Welcome to the exciting artform called pyrography! I hope you will come to love it as much as I do. No to both. When I was working and doing what I enjoyed, I wrote programs. Unfortunately, the majority of my work was boring and/or I didn't enjoy. For example, I was the person who had to train all of the new employees in my department. Hated that, but might be why I seem to do well explaining things on KZbin. :)

Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate the kind words. This is an old tutorial. I think it was the first one I ever did. I can't watch it because it makes me cringe. Thanks again for the nice comment

Yes, I bend the nibs to probably a 40 degree angle. Here's a shorts video demonstrating what I do. kzbin.infowVAY2566TjE The temperature I burn at is meaningless information because there are too many variables. I wrote a community post covering this common question. Here's a link to the post: kzbin.infoUgzkHVl6Z_oCR-jwgp94AaABCQ Hope the information helps

Thank you for the nice comment! When I saw this design I was immediately attracted to it because i like dragonflies too. I also like mandala because they are fun to try out different textures, pen tips, etc.

Glad you liked it.

Thanks so much 😊 Really appreciate the kind words. Have a fantastic day and an awesome week!

Hello Kitty, I use a colwood super pro II. I put the info in the video description as it's a question I get a lot. There is also a link to the manufacturer.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

Thank you. I saw that. Thank you for letting me know I didn't explain things very well. The pyrography took 11 3/4 hours. I didn't keep track of the background work. FYI - if you ever want to know this type of information on other projects I put it in the video description. I also put what sort of material I'm burning and the size of the image. There are probably a couple of video where I forgot to do this, but the more recent videos I've been good about it. :)

@@PyrographyMadeEasy wonderful thank you. You are great at explaining and showing things.

Glad you found one that made sense. :)

Sorry. I'm glad you let me know that I wasn't very clear in the video. Sometimes I'm so familiar with a process that I tend to gloss over things.

@@PyrographyMadeEasy I think you do fine..so dont worry about it. I am just glad you have vids to go to. Many already know you and how you do stuff and I am new so learning.

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment. I appreciate it.

Hello Ryn, thank you for the very kind comment. This is one of the few pieces of artwork I'd done that I actually liked. Was a little sad when it went out the door to a new home.

@@PyrographyMadeEasy Mandala art must require a patience level I do not have. And I do not normally enjoy looking at Mandelas, however your Mandela art stood out from the first glance. It's what I call a 'traffic stopper.' Ability to pull somebody up in their tracks to take a second look at the artwork is what all artist are hoping to achieve - and you have it with this one. You are also a fabulous teacher. You're not only achieved it, you have skillfully explained how you achieved it. Your total contrast throughout the work is excellent and very sufficiently to make the Mandela interesting. However, you have lifted it above good to excellent by breaking free from the formality with the addition of the dragonfly. By using the white pencil at the main focal point around the dragonflies eyes, increasing the contrast of light and shade in that one area you have lifted the work to perfection. Given everybody who watched it necessarily necessary knowledge to elevate their own artworks. Quite an impressive artwork and tutorial.

Wow. I'm very flattered with your high praise. To me this was just a lot of fun. Mostly because it involved working on small detail items. That's probably why I like mandala designs...all of those small parts making an interesting pattern. :) Thank you again for such a super nice comment!

@ Haha, first comment was short for me, I made up with my long comment filled with typos. :D Have a lovely day, Brenda.

Thank you. I'm not sure. I'd call it mandala style. Or maybe mixed media since there is colored pencil on the background.

@PyrographyMadeEasy thanks 👍

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment. It was a rather fun project to do.

I look forward to seeing your artwork. Our love of pyrography gives us a common interest.

Welcome to the exciting artform of pyrography. Hope you'll come to love it as much as I do. Another lefty....that means you're in your right mind. :) so few are.
