leatheroo

tina, great work, didnt know you too had been bitten by the skull bug!!!!

todays effort... 1mm veg tanned leather, airbrushed with acrylic paints.

you can now use photoshop online for free www.photoshop.com there is 2gb (i think) for photo storage and basic editing tools.

hey beav, great to hear from you again....cool stool!!!

great project, love the color

i dont know what its going to be, but i love the free design that you have stamped...very nice flow to it.

I wanted to use up some of those scraps of leather that we all have, so i made this bio cuff. 7cm wide, stained with antique brown. I was missing one half of the middle snap set...note to self...make sure there are enough full sets of snaps before starting ...what do you bet i cant get that same color and size again!!!

tom, are u using a tower or laptop...if it is a tower it is worth taking the side off and checking the cpu fan...i found mine was clogged with dust, fluff, doghair!! blow it out with an air compressor or can of compressed air or just use a soft paint brush to clear the fan...while you have it open it is worth peeling off the little sticker in the middle of the fan and putting a few drops of machine oil in..this will keep the fan quiet. Another problem can be a clogged power supply fan, this is the fan at the back of the tower..u can get at this by undoing a few screws...you have to get the power supply out and take the cover off to get to the fan...clean, oil and replace.....very quiet now!!!! and pc will run much much cooler. OK, just read your post again...i see you are using a laptop...oh well, maybe this will help some one else.

Great chrisy present, nice stamping

welcome to the forums, great people willing to share, from geelong, victoria

well done E, nice finishing touches

Randahl, the leather is soaked for about 1 min in hot tap water, when it dries, it stays stiff. Crystal, the two extra sets of eyelashes are just extra pieces of leather glued on, hidden by the first set of eyelashes that are created by eye cut outs.

Will i do the house cleaning, wash the dog and the car, do the grocery shopping..hmmmm...no, i think i will make a mask!!

big hug from downunder!!!

OMG!!!!! stunning stuff, love your website..... i think i will give up leatherwork now!

i have often admired chip carved woodwork and wondered if it could be applied to leather....so i bought a chip carving knife this morning, watched a few youtube videos and set knife to leather.... i think the results maybe worth exploring a bit more...and a lot more practice!! this is what i produced one hour later.... i really wanted to burnish the little triangles but couldnt work out how to do it....anyway just a quick practice piece.

a quick question...is it OK to copy someones design if i am only going to keep it for myself and not sell the finished product?

wow, great work

thats wonderful, its so great to see something unique

Daggrim, i did a tutorial awhile back on mask making, but i cant find it here anymore. I posted the tutorial on an airbrush forum as well...here is the linkhttp://www.airbrushtech.info/AIRBRUSH/foru...read.php?t=8767If you cant see the photos, you may have to join the forum and login to see them.hope this helps.ok, i found it,http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?s...;hl=mask+making
