Attempted devore with flame pattern

By Tien Chiu | Published: March 24, 2012

Here is the results of my burnout attempts (not very impressive yet, I’m afraid!): Here I attempted to apply the devore paste from the back, and as you can see, it was less than successful – this was meant to be a circle, but even after much enthusiastic scrubbing the chenille did not come off [...]
