Your work is beautiful as always Bob, I wish I could be a fly on your workshop wall and pick up a trick or two *LOL* I'm a fan//Tina

Some ideas: I would make it a personal one instead of trying to copy a commercial album (so to speak). Ask questionas about them as a couple: What are their interests, where do they come from, where have they been Dreams and wishes etc. etc. Then put someting together that makes sense *LOL* and incorporate the scroll wedding things, the fertility symbols or other symbols that makes sense on a wedding...Just a few hints and Good Luck to you:-)

I could have picked your eyeglass case out in a mountain of them:-) Love your work and the snazy lable lil'bro

Hi Randy, I feel your pain and agree with thoughts about Febay. I have started to first offer what I have here on LW, it works real well and (I hope) everyone is happy:-)

Hi, I do bigger/or patterns with lots of stuff happening the total oposite from you. I always start out at the edges, they're going to dry first anyway. The middle of the piece is going to keep the moist the longest, therefor I do that bit the last. To me this have been a simpler way of working, a more natural flow. I use a spray bottle to keep the rest moist and the fine mist from that one don't leave a watermark line (so far), it seams to work.

This is a tricky one and I simply Love the yaks, much better... How about putting this up to a monthly challenge task, could be fun and I'm sure giving some extra grey hair (as if I need some more):-)

Great Thank You from me to both of you, and it is for sure a two way street back:-)

I Love this one, must be one of the best I've seen. The design and the coloring is both very appealing

Hi there:-) You're right, the carving is on damp leather (cased leather). Make sure your knife is sharp, there is no if end or buts about that one...You also need to strop that blade as often as every time you lift the knife from your work if it is one of the ordinary knifes/blades. Hope this helps you a wee bit and Good Luck to you//Tina

Thank You both:-) Peter's belts is something I wish I could do, they are just so beautiful... "Art around the waist" :-)

Nice work, I really like the wallet with the snake and the first one with the knife scrolls, sweet:-)

Sorry I did not reply earlier, I missed to keep track of this thread... I will send you a note with description of the 2-tone braid.

Laughing out load...Totally cracking up getting the image of the poor yaks in my head

Geezzz Ed, *Drooling* More "I want"

Beautiful work, I love the horses and I think your work is awesome Kathy:-) I for sure is going to follow your progress, very interesting

This link goes to a very basic tutorial of how to resize your phots, easy following step by step. http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essenti...ge-resizing.php

Cool:-) Thanks Marlon soo nice of you and I''l wait cuz this is a real mysterium to me

The Hi-lite only gets the black stuff in the groves... The antique also ad some color tho the leather it self...

Beautiful work as usual Peter:-) I do have a question...How in the world do you get 2-3 pieces of leather together by sewing (I assume) and no stiching is visible?

It's wonderful how you make me laugh here...Love it and Thanks a load:-)

Your way to nice Clay, Great Thank you:-) The boo-boos is all in the lower end of the mouse scene, all that "extra brown" all over is actually antiquing going all the way down to the leather=Boo-boo...I wanted it to get more green/fall colors on the ground and shade the mouse my way, not the boo-boo way, bummer. I guess, If you don't know, then it works?...Well, I decided to "get over it" and at some point I'm going to make another one of them:-)

Ahhh, it somewhat make sense:-) Thanks Hilly, I just wish I had more patience doing more tutorials... My guess here...If one is in to that type of bikes, one would know? I use to have my own bikes before kids, big ones but the street racing kind...No stripes on them *LOL* Your more than welcome and...Always Clay if you get stuck :-)

Good Morning to you too Ed:-) Lets see how manny of the q's I can answer:-) What can they be reduced with? There is a color "neutral" and they have a reducer, both works. I always gets at least 2 pints of the stuff, it works well. Are they lifted by NeatLac? I don't know, I have never used neatlack. Do they get "muddy" when combining a few colors together, to get another shade? I blend them with eachother as I please...And they stay vivid if that is what I want...I started out with the primary colors, red, blue, yellow (use this alot) black and green, just to make a simple start. I do have a few more colors today, I love the saddle and army tan and a few more, still I blend most colors on the spot. How many little bottles, of reduced shades do you have??? Trick question? :-) I have no idea, if i made a guess...15-20 or so? I mix a color and when using it I ad the reducer, I then use the paper plates (with a plastic coat on) to get the right amount of the color. What I also like is...Every color range here has its own brush and I don't have to clean them in between use (I Love that) Next time I need it I just dip it in the color, it takes a few seconds then the brush is good to go again:-) I have actually contacted them to see if I could find a retailer in Europe, they're working on it...I really don't want to change this so I'm hoping here.............Very nice people to deal with:-)

Thanks guys, I'm just glad it could help:-) Von-Dutch style, help me out here, what is that???

Thanks both of you:-) I'll try keeping it up and the boo-boo's out *LOL*
