Finished

YES he was chilling out.

Thank You. It might not be when done. Yea, he made here in Lutz,fl. said it was too cold at the last place he was. must have at your house.. He did say he got better food there.

I size it to a larger size and lost the perspective from the orginal image. Its on a 6.3 square. Not the 4x6 where I use the orginal size and fill in the borders.

My friend here is enjoying the good life. I had clouds in the sky yesterday. I thought I they resembled actual clouds. This morning i painted over them. You can see it's not done yet and there may be more painting over. The reason I have a hard time with clouds and waves is the same reason i am not a Brain Surgen. I want to do it now.

To me, you bevel like Chuck said making the backgroun inner triangle look lower. You belvel toe is toward you. You will see at top and sidelike the A is out of a picece of wood. Then that inner line i yhink you double bevel definning a top and side but You Better try on a scrap or say good by to the orginal

In a way.My direction is so scattered I need a gps to get back. Glass and water drops is another unsolved problem. Trying to duplicate glass.

Wiiisshhhhhhhhh winds of the Seminole

A scene that floats in your mind and placed in your hand. The flow of the image that eases your eyes. Like grabing a Guitar and starting a Band.

Thank you. I used the tip of a f918. i have used different sizes of this stamp to do sea bottoms. The border stod out after completein the coaster=Blank. I thought why not. It blended well and added a little something to the complete image.

Thank you. Outside the box and maybe a little Outlaw. I can do the belts, wallets ,holsters and even tool new leather and stitch it on baseballs. But these I doo has a double bang for me. Tooling and painting.

Thank you Chuck. I create a tracing pattern from different single images. i use Inpixo ssstudio to isolate the subject from a background. Then cutout 9-used 78 but up graded. That you can put seperate images in to the background and scale and move. Also if an image is hard to cut for impixio you can dot it there on Cutout. the iii use Printmaster to fit the final image intowhat ever size leather i am working with. Simple ain't it.

Love doing this one. it's the second one & different color on seahorse.

Glad for that. Got rid of the Mice? Your one of the 4 that have something i have done that belongs too this Forum. Now baseballs, I sold a few to leatherworkers on this forum. I need to reajust.I am getting sloppy lazy. I like to blame retracing over and over-Thats lame. Thank you for the complement. Ps--- Couldn't sell most. Seems that language to sell parts to overroad truckers did not translate to regular people that well

With me ,I get lazy doing repeats. Thats the need for the change ups. I have a belt I need todo and another crditcard holder with a money pocket and a dreamcatcher. Another back burner is shorting Suspenders. all mine so you know whatts going to happen . Thank you for saying it's "Cool"

First of all I fixed the gaps and i know you all are getting sick of these. I was going to accent the pedals with a lifter ,decide not to. Just wanted to try a diffferent layering of paint and colors. I am working on a Seahorse now.needed to step away from the flowers . Need to step away from the fish also. Need to getBack to the barn scenes and pastures. Yea it's stupid looking

Well, Relooking at the box top, if they were dyed-painted-colored- it wouold take away the total look. It would ruin it. Natural look, now thats a concept about lost.

bottom looks great. Tight stiching. Jewery box my thinking. lined with velvet. keep it up you got a thing going on. Dye is hard-painting is easy. Stay with the hard way and develope it going to have to use a perment pen for my butterfly legs and antini. Try religious symboles so peope could store inherated items in. Just my thinking. Please no sir. I am just an old Lutz x grover worker and a little bit of a Highway Man want to be.

Your there. Like the box and the tooling and painting. it looks like its been handled for years .Gives it a pleasing look-Keepsake.

Flipping through background images, a rose on a chared pice of wood caught my eye. as always what you start to duplicate things happen. i have used the parchment paper for the kids book i have written so it does fir my style. So do i. I used a rope stanp for the background.

Thank you. It was a 3 step problem. First the wrong shade of red. Second made edjes solid red-wrong , then the last one. the outline of rose is more defined then the picture. I guess angle off .

Sometimes, just sometimes things come together. Keeping it simple and let the colors lead you.

You know that might work, i was going to keep it simple to concentrat on the painting style. Thank you.

Thanks, Thing is its not the look I am looking for and that one seems to be off.(A lot off). has to have a flow. Unlike canvis where you background than build outward.The surfaces efect the paint differently/ Maybe if i trace shallow cuts then paint like canvis the tool the images it might kind of work.

And ,after a fiasco on the attempt of last posting ,this one should work. I have this ting about showing fish suspended in water. The hard part is ruining the scene after sealing by putting a film of water backgound over it. How to create images suspended is what i am trying to figure out. Who researches something before they do it. Not me. Leather is an unforgiving surface and may not be able to duplicate the look. Spraying a sealer does present a workable surface Any ideas is welcome agreable or not
