leatheroo

beautiful work, love the design

oops didnt read the first post properly....found these http://store.tacklemania.com.au/Terminal%2.../Split%20Rings/

hi linda, i think birsall has what you are looking for http://www.birdsall-leather.com.au/product.asp?id=105

i just use regular acylics thinned with water. Createx has to be heat set using heat gun, hair dryer or iron. The better quality acylics dont lose their color when thinned.

thanks tom

hi pip, in the past i have been using 1mm but the last lot i had was not holding up very well, the last few masks i have made, i used 2mm.

Congrats Wolv, this is such a great post. Hope everything goes well for you and the mom.

thanks JR, most people who buy them wear them to fancy dress or masquerade parties, i like to think they then hang them on a wall.

nice work, i am sure there will be a cake or two or three

sweet work, its so much fun watching peoples styles develop and this style is so unique.

So many layers of paint on this mask. it started out cream and yellow with a touch of red, then had a paint accident. kept painting, didnt like it, more paint, then it was ok...kept fiddling...ignored big sign that says "leave well enough alone" .... had to start again with a darker base color....here she is .... really tempted to paint over again, but i will look at it for awhile

me too

some more info i found Bob Basset is a virtual Live Journal user, behind it are four talented ukranian craftsman Oleg and Sergey Petrov, Andrei Patlin and Andrey Makaruk. These guys have started by making costume elements for the local Historical Reconstruction club. All the pieces were created using only original technologies. Their medieval and fantasy armor and weapons have made them famous among the local reconstruction and live role playing crowd. For the past few years they have been trying to turn their art into a business. They still make medieval armor and weapon replicas (they work with metal as well), they tried their hand in custom BDSM toys and costume elements, recently they have created a series of macabre leather masks. Currently they are looking for an investment to make a small leather works factory in Kharkov.

Found this site while googling and was blown away by this guys leatherwork. Maybe some of you know his work but for those who dont here are some pics of his work. His website is http://bob-basset.livejournal.com/ this link is the last page in his journal, just click..previous 20... to see more work and keep going back to see more and more!!

another skull fan banging the leather...great work, love the tribal designs on the head

sweet work again....what sort of buckle will go on it?

we had a carrier in port a few weeks ago, it was open to the public so i took the kids for a look. the line was soooooo long that we gave up and went for an ice cream instead.

OOOOh this is goooood!!! The skull rocks big time!!! the lining is soooooo sweeeeet!!!!

my favorite movie of all time is The worlds fastest Indian with anthony hopkins. I think he is just a wonderful actor. I love all things scifi and at the moment cant get enough of Stargate, i watch it every night at 9.30pm. Lots of movies will always be worth watching again, Apollo 13, Silence of the lambs, to name a couple. Some of my favorite aussie movies are Crackajack and the dish.

welcome kiwi, love your belt, sorry cant help you with pricing, i'm the same, always charging to little.

"freakin-astic!!!!" this is a very cool design!

hey tom, i am waiting delivery of a new airbrush iwata hp cplus, the guy at the airbrush course used this one with amazing ability. he could get really fine lines, try unscrewing the tip, you should get a finer spray this way.

great start, love the design for the cell phone holder and of course there are many skull lovers on this forum!!!

hey ray, one of our members makes great makers stamps. Dbarleather made my stamp for me. I live in australia and it was far cheaper for him to make it and send it to me than to get one made in australia. You can send him your artwork or discuss with him what you need.

thanks tim, it is great to see another tutuorial.
