They look great! What do you use as a core?
-
The stamping looks good. Perhaps you can bevel along the stamped edge and then use another tool for more decoration, something like a camo tool? This will make it look more 'finished'. Ive not had much practice at scrolls and flowers but if its your first or early attempts just keep practicing. I suggest keeping your early attempts to monitor your progress.

Thank you for the tutorial. Hopefully I'll get to try it out soon.

Thanks for that, Ill have to look for such a mask. Congratulations for winning best costume, its better when you've made it yourself!

Thats fantastic! Whats the former made from, ive been looking for something suitable to use as a former but cant find anything sturdy enough. I was thinking about making one with plaster or Herculite but can only find molds with expressions. The black and gold looks great for contrast.

Thanks for that, its a great resource and Id like to give it a try sometime. The rivets have given me an idea, I'd like to make a tankard with just revets instead of the usual sewing. Many thanks for that link to your site.

Thanks for sharing those pictures. Im interested in leather bottles and pictures like this are great to see how they're made. How do you cast your own rivets, do you make a mold into which you pour the moten copper?

Very nice and solid looking. -
What a great idea. I like it a lot. I also agree with Michael's comment about dying the insides. Fantastic project!
-
They look great and very durable. My only comment is with regards to the third picture. I noticed you stitched across the leather handle straps. I would not have done that because it creates a perfourated line in the strap which could be a possible point of weakness if the straps are flexed over time. The vertical and lower stitching, and the rivet looks very sturdy and would be more than adequate. Just my opinion.

That's going to last a lifetime if not longer! Excellent work!

Wow! Those are stunning! May I ask what paints you use and the finish? I love the painting on such fine detail. I bet that's one proud owner Ah, ignore my questions, I just saw your other post! -
Thank you. The original picture had black lines on the sides to show the depth, I tried that on a rough practice piece but it looked a mess although I could have used a fine tip marker. I opted to leave the lines as just an impression since they are still obvious but subtle and give a similar effect. The pink is much brighter in 'real life' but being flourescent, it doesn't show on the pictures. The colour on the shaded sides were made by mixing blue with black, then by airbrushing I was able to control the intensity. It took some practice to get it right.

Here is my latest leather back patch, this time with one of the 'Twisted Sister' logos. The black is Fiebings Pro Oil dye, the other colours are airbrushed with Createx, Ecoflow and Lumiere paints. If you would like to see how it was painted, please follow this link. http://www.lordofleather.com/twistedsisterhowto.html

Work in progress on a Twisted Sister Back patch. Next the paint and dye will be touched up around the edges before clearcoat and lacing around the edge. -

Fantastic! -
Looks very nicely made and I like that lacing. As have been menioned, maybe a two tone effect could have been obtained on the tooled area to make it stand out more.
-
Thanks for sharing that. They're fantastic. Thanks for sharing that. They're fantastic.

Excellent work. The braid looks especially good and helps to 'finish' it off. I hope that mine will turn out as nice.
-
Very nice and original wallet. Do you use a real stone to get the stone looking boarder or is it done with traditional tools? Superb work.
-
I like it, especially the two tone lacing. Is it more difficult to splice or end the lacing compared to one colour lacing? Looks great!
