The Art of Pyrography or Poker-Work—No. 3 by Mrs. Maud Maude Adapted from The Delineator Magazine, March 1892, pp. 284–286. The Butterick Publishing Co., London & New York

Mrs. Maud Maude's article displayed here is the third in a series of three she did for the Delineator magazine. It offers ideas and advice and a nice selection of patterns for the serious student to optimize use of the tool and its platinum points, even for painterly effects of shading without touching the point to the wood.

She discusses designs used in a natural way and also indicates how they can be adapted for conventional borders and other decorative work. She also elaborates on portraiture and how to work with both a light and dark background for different effects. Also mentioned is negative pyrography and working with landscapes.

Noticeably missing from this 1892 series is the paragraph by Maud Maude quoted in Ellen T. Masters' 1893 article Pyrography Upon Glass. For this reason, since Masters indicated the quote was from an article by Maude, research is underway in the hope of finding still another article by the renowned Maud Maude.
