Hiya, May!
Thank you for your kind welcome, and for your Trading post too! I'm glad that there are some other UK people here - it'll be fun to swap, indeed...
Pyrography is a great hobby, if you have the time for it - it's really fun, and keeps you busy. You don't need to be a wonderful artist (which is just as well, 'cos I'm not!), but you do need patience and a smooth and steady hand. And more space than I actually have, to store all the irresistably nice bits of wood to burn on. I'd gladly give you a try with my machine, but you're a bit far away to just pop in!
Thanks again for your kind welcome.
