Pattern Insight - Head Band

[Prince]

Well I'm still at it of course and I have some new goodies to share.

Here is a progress pic of (part of) the new dragon themed armor I'm working on and thought I'd give a glimpse at how I make my patterns and how a piece actually starts and you can kind of see how I (sometimes) plan some of the design when I make the pattern.

As always, beautiful work, Az. You're doing a fantastic job with the colors. Acrylics?

It's a great effect on the 'wings' to use thumbprints and pear shaders to imitate hammer marks on steel.

Thanks : ) It's all dye, except for the metallic gold of course. Hammer marks are actually ball peen hammer marks ; )
