My First Tooled Flame Leather Top Hat

Recommended Posts

This one is going out to the customer this week. He drums in a band and wanted something for on stage.

Very nice, was this from one of the Tandy patterns?

Panther the skull and die are from a patch the customer sent me.

Kevin the hat is part Tany pattern part a pattern I made befor discovering the tandy pattern. I made the sides of the crown taller and a little longer but essentially tandy but the top is round and bigger the tandy one is oval. I sized the brim up a bit to deal with the larger brim size and balance it out. On the brim I flared it over a vase my wife has at the top a little.

3-4 oz on the sides to save weight 5- 6 on the brim and top to add rigidity

What did you use to color the flames dye/paint? the gradient looks spot on!

I used the airbrush and Auto color(I believe) first I laid down white then a silver glitter then airbrushed transparents(because I would have had to order candies). Then super sheen on top of that.
