The Nature of Pyrography

Take pictures of what you would like to woodburn. They can be of anything... Take a road trip to the country for landscapes, animals, old buildings and farm equipment. Take a walk down a city street for pictures of people, modern building and cars. Go to the airport, bus or train depot or off to the lake for boats or to the ocean for bigger boats. Go through old pictures of past trips you took or simply stay at home and explore your own backyard, or make a creative still life display of your favorite things on your kitchen table. Take as many pictures as you need, both overall and close up, as these will later be used for references while you are woodburning your project.

Using your own pictures is just one way to get reference material. But if you are just starting out you may simply opt to buy a pattern book from the store.
