  1. Thanks. Rawcustom, I use an airbrush with all of my dying adventures. You just can't beat the control. Take care, Kevin
  2. Very cool. That must have been fun.
  3. Grey Drakkon, I'm glad that this inspires you. I had to look at just about every leather arm guard I could find online for inspiration myself. I was fortunate to be given full reign over the design of this piece for the end customer. I went into this project with no reference or suggestions from him on style or patterns which is very foreign to me, and he didn't want to even see what I was working with until the piece was complete. He wanted to be completely surprised. I'm sure what ever you make will be pretty cool. Please post pictures when it is complete. Good luck and have fun. Kevin
  4. Nice. I haven't tried messing with elastic yet.
  5. Thanks for all of the comments. To thefanninator, yes I do shoot traditional recurve, but this was an arm guard for one of the employees at the range I go to. This is the arm guard I made for myself. Do you shoot?
  6. I did look up a pinstriping design to stitch into an archery arm guard in conjunction with some Celtic knot work. This may not be exactly what your looking for but may be a different approach.
  7. Looking good as usual. Love that color. I got Peter Mains book as you mentioned, but I need to practice, practice, practice. That design is kickass too.
  8. Thanks Dave, I did not have to work with the foam at all. The customer gave me a finished seat with vinyl on it and I removed the vinyl and made my pattern from it. I did do some looking around for info on foam and see that high density foam is the preferred choice which you can find at a craft store and some people use an electric turkey knife to shape ant trim the foam. Sorry I don't have more for you. Good luck, Kevin
  9. Nice job. That's a sweet design.
