Xeranthe Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Hi Everyone, I've finished off a couple of projects that I've been working on and thought I would share them. I have indentified a few areas that I need to continue working on but I would be interested in your comments. Have a great day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) COMMENTS: I LIKE it. Graceful "flow" in the design (yours?). Dark frame supplying contrast (sweet). SUGGEST REQUEST: I'd like to see these designs (or similar) with just a hint of color, as in hold a jug of dye in your hand and TALK about color (just a whisper). CONCLUSION: SUE-WEET.... Oh, yeah ... I'm assuming that the wrinkles in the leather were intentionally incorporated (I can spell that, but don't ask me to say it three times)... If this was incidental, DON'T change it...

JL Sleather Thank you for your comments. The design is not mine. I'm trying to remember what search I did to find similar things and it escapes me at the moment. In looking for other ideas I've found that if you want to do this type of work that searching for chinese paper cuts gives you some pretty awesome things to try. Some of them are heavily detailed so it would require some playing in order to get something that would work well for carving. I think I'd like to play a little with the colour in future projects like this. All I did with this one was to antique it and then apply a couple of coats of tan kote to it. My first attempt at that whole process so I didn't know exactly how it was going to turn out. ;-) Now I can start experimenting a little more. As for the wrinkles - I'd love to say that I did it intentionally but it was pure fluke. I actually had to go back and take another look to see what you were referring to.
