Jordan Report post Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Haven't been doing much leather, what with all the computer difficulties, but I just finished a couple of items that were on a deadline. I think they turned out pretty good except the basketweave being a littile off, and my sewing is getting better with each project.

bustedlifter Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Looks really good, Jordan! Don't worry about the basketweave, when I try it it's just like me, waayy off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regis Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Jordan, They look great. I particularly like the way you did the border on the bible cover. Regis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdb Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Nice job Jordan!. I really like that color, it's a rich brown...and me too on the corner idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan Report post Posted May 14, 2008 eco-flow acorn brown and a slightly watered down black hi-lite over the top. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Froghunter Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Nicely done Jordan. I have to jump on the "corner" bandwagon here as well. I don't do alot of stamped borders because of the corners, but now I see that it can be done. So....THANKS! And basketweave is the bane of my existence! Notice I haven't ever posted any! Cuz my only attempt have not been pretty. More Basket chunks than weave! Keep em coming my friend! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colman Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Jordon, Very nice work! Like the way the leaves are overlapped on the checkbook cover. What tool did you use on the border on the inside of the bible cover? Johnny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunfighter48 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Jordan those look great. How did you apply the stain to the bible cover? Did you use an airbrush? John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tazzmann Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Very nice looking work Jordan! Keep 'em coming! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan Report post Posted May 14, 2008 I used craftool #E294 on the inside for the border and to hide some problems on the other piece. No airbrush, I don't have the patience to learn how to use one well enough, I used a damp dense sponge in a swirling motion. Thanks very much for the comments, though I don't think my work comes close to some of you that post on this board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
