I wonderful new artist has been added to my global pyro section, Jianting li. I've been busy doing a few pyro comissions such as a set of wooden spoons for a golfing competition. The loser's win one of my spoons! Most of my time seems to be taken up with my web and graphic design. However, I still get daily emails from budding pyrographers. So thanks to all who have written to me!

You really must check out the work of Ahmed Qureshi. He recently sent some work into me, I must say that I was really really impressed! His work is so detailed it must take an age to do! Unfortunately, I had to scale down his image and it really doesn't show the detailing but if you are interested in seeing more I'm sure that he will email you some pics.

Sorry, but I have forgotten to update my updates page! For all of my regular visitors I should think that you have noticed the design change. I've spent quite a few months redesigning my site, I think it looks better now and I hope you do too? I did a have a few emails from people saying that they couldn't easily read the type on a grey background so I thought that I would go for a lighter look. I'm really happy with my new header graphic and woody background. Well, for this year my work now seems to be concentrated on web design but I have still found some spare time to do a little pyrographic work. I still undertake some special commissions but my shows have been thin on the ground. It is also the 25th anniversary of the Guild of Essex Craftsmen so I will probably be attending some of their shows. As to new additions to the site I have added another pyrographic artist to my Global Pyro section, Alexander Moreira from Brazil, please go and check out the detail! - visit page

I have added a new page to Global Pyro, this is an interesting one as it is a bit of detective work! Take a look and if anybody knows the artist then please let us know! - visit page

Well, in my attempt to combat spammers I have added a new guestbook. Hopefully I will have some success with this - we shall see!

Happy New Year to all!
Well a new year is upon us and I am refreshed and ready for another year of burning! 2006 was quite a good year although craft fairs were not quite as good as previous years. I have been considerably more successful in selling my wares through my site and it is a lot warmer to work from home!
At the end of last year I received a site of the year award from Lynx an was also awarded Nova Site for December from Award Sites. My pyro patterns have proved to be a big success leading to lots of enquiries about woodburning. I love to meet fellow burners so keep your messages coming in and I will do my best to answer them.
Plans for this year include new pattern kits which will include wood, a pattern and transfer paper - so watch this space. Bye for now and happy burning.
