thanks max, no double layers...all one piece of leather, cheers

I havent made anything in a long time...terrible weather, so out came the tools..... i was a bit rusty and the mask started out a lot bigger but the leather wasnt behaving as often happens in mask making...snip, snip, snip...small and smaller it got...."leave it alone!" came from my daughter Casey...this is what was left!!! I was happy enough with the out come...loving the red!!

another great "tina" artwork...you always inspire me...i havent made anything in ages....i will have to wipe the cobwebs off the tools!!

check out the work of tom banwell....his steam punk creations are great

who's been practicing with the swivel knife???? lol great work tom...

i have been reading books in ebook format for years...first a pda then a pda phone and now i use the iphone...the iphone is by far the best reader i have ever used...the free stanza app will let you read any format...Lit...palm...web pages...etc...with the windows based pda i always had to convert to microsoft lit...but with the iphone no conversion needed. i like having to carry only one piece of equipment that does everything...with the iphone i have music, books, phone and all my photos (over 2000).

looks like leather heaven...give me a bed and a fridge and there would be no need to leave!!!......peter, where's the toaster and vegemite???

thanks tom, sounds like the ice age, i cant even imagine something THAT cold...not really keen to find out!!!!

oh bob....keep out of the sun...it will fry your brain...lol.... 30C is sooooo mild.....we got to 45C last summer, thank god for air conditioning...on the other hand it is down to 15C now and it seems freezing to me!!!!

thats beautiful!

hi gypsy, you have made a good start on your mask making...i saw your other post but i thought i would comment here. You might like to check out the tutorial i did on how i make my masks..you will find it here http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2380 I think you will improve by using thinner leather, it is easier to work with and you can do more with it. i use veg tanned calf skin ...1mm or 2mm thick. To get a good paint job an airbrush is the only way to go, there have been lots of posts about which airbrush to get so i wont get into that here. As for paint, i just airbrush with good quality acrylics and just use a spray can of sealer over the top..sealer can be bought at craft stores. There is a link to my gallery on my members page that will give you an idea of the coloring that can be achieved. Hope to see more of your work soon caroline
