Wanda, those are pretty. I really like the rose. Did you burn the rose outline?

Wanda: I really like what you've done with that scrap boat. Can you tell me about how big you make those hair sticks? I have a couple of branches here that I think would be great for that, but I don't know quite how big to make them. How long and approximately what diameter?

Thanks Kevin.
Yes Sharon, I did burn and shadow the rose with my wood burner. Thanks for noticing.
Jim, I vary the length of the sticks. The longer and thicker the hair, the longer the stick. But as a general rule about the length of a new pencil.
Wanda
