i wanted to carve something that was challenging...so here it is. There is still some finishing to be done but the sun was out so i took a photo. I think i will be making it into a bill and cheque book holder. The problem now is how to dye it... i wish i could give it to tina to dye black and then do those wonderful highlights she does. After about 8 hours carving i might just look at it for awhile before getting up the courage to put dye to leather, i really dont want to have to bin this one.
i like my quivers to be waterproof and have been using this product for years

It keeps the leather soft and supple but repels water...it also brings out the color of the dye more (the photo is on undyed leather)...it can be buffed to a nice shine ....a little bit goes a long way!!!
nice spider...i really like the way you have placed your stamp. the dye on the hands...wear it proudly...the bevelling spider...sleep deprived as always.. i must admit i too have had edges look like this...thats why i love my dremel..it fixes these little problems or very fine sandpaper can help...dont you hate the way photos show up everything!!
My mum loves tigers so i made her this little wall hanging...it was tan with black stripes then..OOOPS..damm..black dye splatted on the tan....i thought it look better tan and black but i had to save it...so here it is.
