    sculptures

    sculptures made out of mainly leather with a few minor add on that just can't be done with leather. I learned how to make these sculpture from a woman by the name of Roz Kaohn

    The cables for the keys are done in stretchy jewelery cord. Cut to length and individually glued in place. believe it or not that was more challenging that the black keys.

    here is a top angle of piano. the black keys are individual slivers of leather cut, painted and glued on.

    This piano started out as an upright, i was following instructions from one of Roz's books. But my family challenged me to make a baby grand.

  10. hello from chesterfield michigan
  11. well i'm no expert but i do have to say it looks very nice. i think a job well done
  12. im pretty much the same way. it keeps it fun to challenge yourself.
  13. I am on a website called artwanted. They offer a widget to display your work on other websites, forums or blogs. the widget is 250 x 275 pixels. its a shockwave flash. it has a html code and it has this address on the end of the www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer my husband and i were looking around to see if there was anyway to attach this to my forum on here and didn't see anything. But we are unasure how to go about it anyways. So i was wondering if it is possible to do so. And if so how would i attach it. i hope i am giving enough and the right information on it. So if you could please let me know or if you have any questions. Thank you Dawn Name: dawn lochridge UserName: dawn IP Address: 98.224.179.157 Email Address: dlochridge@comcast.net
  14. I've made four 3 ring binders as photo books and i have used the mexican basket weave on all of them. They stay closed on there own just fine. I know some people use the whole binder and just cover them in leather. I tear them apart and just us the the 3 ring part . The photo sleaves i use are too big for store bought binders and stick out so i make my own books using stiffener inbetween the leather. So i can't say if that would make a difference or not, but i wouldn't think it would be a problem doing it that way too.
  15. I use nail polish remover. i seems to do a pretty good job and its cheap and easy to find. i use it to clean off my slabs and work bench too when they get dirty or if i get dye on them.
  16. i have messed with it too. i think that the bit has to be ver y course, the dremel on high speed and if i swiped slowly it would leave a pretty bright spot. i also found out the more you go over the spot the duller it gets. i have a hard time getting the look to be consistent. but thinking about it, i maybe pressing too hard. i attached a picture one of my first attempts. the problem is findiing the bits that are course enough.
