The important part of the art of pyrography, the third part, uses and cares for your tools.

I am very glad that you are back! If you missed two of my other articles, be sure to catch up with them before reading this article, which makes more sense!

This week we will learn what you can do with the new tools. What are the tips and uses?

Of course, there are many different types to choose from. The question is, what do you really need to start. Do you want to make a shadow? Is it well written? Wide range of routes? combination? It depends on what you are making and making. An example is to make a big sign, maybe a store or an ad. You will need a wider range of tips and you will be able to quickly cover large areas. A small sign on the front porch is another matter. You will want a good writing skill, or it may be a wider line [border] or decoration.

Here are some of the most useful tips, whether or not you have decided what to design.

Conical point: You need the fine tip of the conical point to sign on the front or back of the item. This is the tip I found that I use the most. It can make lines or curves, and write in cursive or block letters, as well as difficult-to-handle designs on many surfaces.

Shading Point: This is a curved "spear" shape that is actually the most versatile of all the tips. Due to the shape of the point, it can reach other areas where the hint cannot. This special tip creates beautiful shadows and touches.

Calligraphy Essentials: This tip produces a striking calligraphic style lettering and shaping.

Flow point: This tip is round and useful for wide lines [bending or straight], writing, point or point coloring.

The other few that are available are not used often, but:

Hotknife Point: Not only can you cut and shape wood, but you can also cut a variety of materials such as cork, plastic or gourd.

Transfer Point: Transfer color and black-and-white laser-reproduced images to a variety of surfaces. Used to transfer complex patterns.

There are also a variety of shapes to choose from to help you create your own patterns. For example, stars, squares, circles, etc. You can use these mixes and matches for any media you want to use.
