I thought I'd share this project with you. It's not finished yet and was meant as an experiment. I wanted to see how the image would burn and look on this bamboo placemat. Overall it's working really well and I like the result. I just have to be careful when my tip is near the string that holds the bamboo pieces together. I've melted a few.
I like how it's turning out but I think it would look much better if I'd made the peacock image larger. I find I tend to lean towards smaller images a lot and then realize that larger is better. This will be something I'll have to learn as I do more projects.
This is an Art Nouveau image of a peacock on a bamboo placemat. I think I'll add some sort of embellishment around the edges just to finish it off.

| I start with the image and trace it on to the wood. K just had to have his arm in the picture. |

| The bamboo plaques are hard to draw on but this one took the image really well. |
 |
| Here's a close up of the tracing. It can be a bit confusing when I burn so I keep the picture handy for reference. |
 |
| This is with a partial burn. It took me a couple of hours to do this but it was fairly easy going. |
