Josh Ashman Report post Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) 10oz HO finished with Fiebings Hi-lighter. Then I decided I wanted more contrast so I used Neat-lac for a resist then black antique. Topped off with another round of Neat-lac. Thanks for looking, Josh Edited August 8, 2014 by Josh Ashman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josh Ashman Report post Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks for the kind words guys, I appreciate it! Dwight, that is actually a fairly inexpensive bowie I picked up from Smokey Mtn Knives. It's branded Colt but made in Pakistan and ran somewhere south of $30. I put them in a nice sheath like that and give them to the kids or in-laws for b-day presents.

oltoot Report post Posted August 11, 2014 Work on pattern drawing and adaptation. To be 'balanced' each one of the three flowers should be a little different size so they 'fit', then accompany that with appropriate stem sizing so each one looks like it 'belongs' there.

Josh Ashman Report post Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks Ol'toot. I appreciate your input. This is my 2nd "drawn straight on the leather" floral pattern and your comments would greatly improve it. Best regards, Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
