Here is how I layout the pattern for the bands. The design is drawn on a piece of Canson Vidalon Vellum. I flip the paper and with a soft pencil, trace the lines. Flip it again, line it up between the circles and trace onto the wood. This brand of vellum is transparent enough I can see the markings for centering on the band and between the points. But, especially after a few uses, the traced lines are faint and off from one side to another…look at the UNDER weave…one side is fatter than the other. Depending on the grain, sometimes the pencil will hit and get out of a smooth curve or line. After the tracing, I go back over the knot and fix all of these problems, a light burning and onto the next band! #signsofspirit #signsofspiritart #signsofspiritpyrography #elementalpentacle (at Todd Mission, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ZlhWiHTTQ/?igshid=3jolzmutvr00
