Had a chance to do a bit more Pyrography work over the past few days. I picked a pattern from Sue Walters book . To transfer the pattern to the wood i printed it out on a laser jet printer (ink jet doesn't work ) flipped it over so ink was touching the wood and took a clothes iron to the back of the paper. The heat melts the ink and the ink sticks to the paper.
This piece came together pretty quick !
Hope you enjoy!

Using a laser jet printer to transfer an image, I hadn't heard of that. I will have to keep it in mind

You can also use mineral spirits and rub it onto the back of the paper. I have not tried this yet. The heat method works great just be sure to really rub the iron over it a few times. Tape it at the top so if you lift it and see its not transferred full you will not had the double vision effect !
