Tina

Thanks Madmax:-) I painted with dye and then highlighted white/silver with some acryllic paint.

Thank you all:-) I'm so happy if I inspire to create, it's an honor

Thank You Russ, glad you like it:-)

Someone here posted a pic of a lighter holster, well a perfect time to try out some new stamping tools and those antiquing I hadnt tried yet:-) The first one is a try at making a toad type pattern, I have used all the plain seeders and a modeler. Picture 2 and 3 is pieces for a copule of handles I made a while back...

The next bottle holder with Bacchus/Dionysos, I was thinking this might just fit the purpose perfectly:-)

Just figured out that something happend here but soooo happy LW is up and running again:-) I repost the pictures of my latest work, this one is a celtic/norse pattern mix.

Hi Jim, I use gorilla glue a lot (a love/hate relationship due to the exspansion, which is what I want but don't like to guard) To get it to expand and harden it has to have access to air. One way would be to drill a hole somewhere on the top, stand it up and start gurading it until it's done, around 1 1/2-2 hours.

Hi and :-) Add pictures in the "Show Off", here or " Critique my Work" forums, your choise:-)

Kevin. Now I know...it's a Bat-Gargoyle of course *LOL* I thought the hides where elephant and frog but this was the first time I've seen them "in person" so I felt a wee bit unsure.

Hi all, I got my absolute fabolous PIF from Kevin King today... Super Thank you Kevin, I Love my new bat, it roocks You hit my taste spot on here Kevin:-) Here is some photos for you all to see the businesscard holder, I might guess what kind of leather/hides is used but, I think it is best if Kevin answer that question if I'm wrong:-)

Beautiful work as usual:-) The red color came out very deep and super nice. I'll keep an eye on the rest when you post it:-)

Ok, so I'm a sucker for the norse stuff but...This one Rocks Tom:-)

Fabulous, simply fabulous! I love all the details and the end surface/color looks really nice and even....Awesome job Banwell:-)

Hi Anne, I wrote you a note last night with some info. Some quick info, I started out using McCalls number 3609 pattern. It's a basic Vistorian corset pattern that can be changed for other models in the future and great to start out with. Here's some good link to buy busks, bones and such: http://www.corsetmaking.com/ http://www.lafnmoon.com/ Pip, Thanks a lot:-) I'm one of them people that likes to try out as many different things as possible in this lifetime...Some things will disappear with time but to paint and beating cows will always stay. Hey, I make corsets for men too (or use to);-)

Big Congrats Wolfie. I agree with David, enjoy they do grow up wa to fast:-)

Hi Frog. Your design is awesome, I really like the traditional carvings together with the "new stuff". Somehow, in an odd way it all make pefect sense

Absolutly beautiful, I Love it

Ask anytime:-)

I did write to him and send the link to this forum, maybe he'll show up? :-)

I'm on my way to quit for the third time. The first time I stayed out of smoking for 8 years (yeah, really stupid to start again, sh.. happends) the second time it lasted for over 4 years. I know what to expect...3 weeks of pure hell. You think, dream, talk, eat, cigarettes, that is just the way it is. I use strong minty chewing gums, don't want to use patches or other substitutes. After 3 weeks the cravings is really not that bad, I just need to stay away from certain situations where a smoke has been "a must". A strong support from home (means hubby starts smoking outdoors *s*) and some space where you can be grumpy without any hazzle is great:-) I'm not going to say good luck just... "Break the habbit" :-)

I also love my sewing machine, I've made corsets for year even if I have put that to rest for the time being. The same with these photos, some original photos is missing in those (..........) crashes.

When I have time left over from beating dead cows I like to paint. I paint in oil, acrylic or aquarelle. When I lived in Sweden I had a couple of shows per year in and around Stockholm area. Most of the photos below are unfortunable in a bad quallity, I had my share of computer crashes and all of the original is gone:-( This is just a small selection, many of them belongs in a series of paintings.

I saw the dragon backpack on Ebay a few ears ago and that's it, I'm so happy you found their web page, Thanks Roo:-)

I'm going to borrow a word from Freak here...Dddaaannnggggg! Great wallet KK, love the inlay of the red frog, Awesome:-)

Aaaawesome job Tom:-) I also think you have improved your designs more and more, this one is fantastic, I Love the braid:-)
