Nice job, like those colors. B -
Sailor Jerry Wallet
CarvedOn replied to CarvedOn's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I freehanded them on a piece of paper and then traced them onto the damp leather. On that skull I drew one side and used that side to draw the other side to keep both sides even and fairly close to each other in size and shape. -
I used a wallet kit, so all the parts were in the package. I used the lacing supplied in the kit, it was leather lacing. I also used a plastic template on this particular wallet to transfer the Celtic Knot design onto the damp leather. I glued the leather to a piece of flat granite with rubber cement so that the leather would not loose shape as I was tooling it. I am beginning to cut my own leather interiors and exteriors for wallets. Sorry for the delay in answering and thanks to you all who jumped in and helped! B

This is my first purse that I did for my mother. It took me a bit to do it, but she loves it. Comments and critiques are welcome. I dyed it saddle tan and just touched it with green and scarlett dye. Then I did a little gold over the top where I tooled it. Comments and critiques are welcome. The photos are not the best.

This is a custom order that I received and wanted to share. It is based on the famous Sailor Jerry designs of yesteryear. I'd like to hear what you think. Thanks so much. -

Red car wallet

Thanks! It was not too difficult to do. -
My husband saw a pancake cell phone design here on the Leathercrafter, I can't remember who posted it, but he just had to have one like it. He did most of the work and it's his first. I cut the leather, wet molded it and he did the tooling, stitching, coloring and cutting the strap and snap. Comments, critiques welcome.

Hi, I am looking for the supplier who sell the women's leather wallet kits that have the coin purse on one side and a strip of leather that comes over to the other side and snaps the whole wallet closed. I want to make some of those and do not know who makes those kits. I have not seen them at Tandy leather. Thanks.

My first holster....
CarvedOn replied to CarvedOn's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Wow! Thanks you guys. I will try that double stitch next time. I put a little gold sheen on that holster. The guys were teasing me about that, but I was not deterred! Mr. loves it, he has it squirreled away somewhere. -
Jesus and thorns wallet

I hope these pictures help see the carving on this wallet I did. B -
Good job! I like the barbed wire around the basketweave. Very appropriate for some mules! We had a mammoth jack for several years and he had Armstrong steering. He was a blast to ride. When he heeehawwed the earth seemed to shake, especially if you were on his back. He just adored our mares, but they hated him with a passion. We finally got one bred to him and she had a gorgeous little mule foal. The mother was a purebred cutting Quarterhorse. We bought that Jack at an auction in Tucson. My mother-in-law and I went there and bid on him and got him for all of $50.00! He was barely a year old and wow did he get big. He was very sweet natured and followed us around like a puppy. Your halter made me think of that Jack we had. We finally sold him to a ranch out near Douglas, AZ.

Good job Tucker! Keep practicing and your knife cuts will keep improving. Mine were awful when I first began. They still are not the best, but I can see they have gotten better. Great subject as well. Thank you to all of you who have served in the Armed Forces. You are all a hero in my heart.

Jesus and thorns wallet
CarvedOn replied to CarvedOn's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I will see if I can get a photo that show the actual carving. My camera is one of those ancient Mavica's that uses those 3.5" floppy discs. Yikes! But hey it is a tough little camera and works for small pics for the internet. Thanks for the comments. -

Thanks! -
Hi Hilly, Thanks! First I wetted the leather after I was done carving and applied the Tandy tan gel antique dye and wiped it off so that I had some dark in the carved and tooled areas. I let it dry fairly dry and then used a damp paper towel to rub off a lot of the tan dye on the areas the popped out. Then I used Tandy hi lite emerald green on the humming bird and leaves applying it like watercolor, not covering the whole leaf. Then I used Tandy hi lite yellow on the leaves as well. I applied quite a bit of that to get it to show up. Then I applied scarlet Tandy Hi lite dye to the flowers and roses and then yellow around the edges of the flowers and roses. I did the same process to the hummingbird. After the hi lite dyes I let them dry and applied watered down Tandy cova color Metallic gold on the wings and chest of the hummingbird and a bit on the roses to give a metallic golden sheen. I let all that dry and then coated with Tandy super sheen. I use a lot of watercolor and acrylic painting techniques in doing my leatherwork. I like the way it comes out. Hope that helps!
