Thank you for such a appreciation my work! I myself also study, trying in every new work to learn and apply the advice and methods set forth by Al Stohlman in his great books "Finesse Figure Carving" and "The Art of Embossing Leather".
That's my fault. I just wanted to give a photo of the product from different angles and use a link to them in a thread.
I was misled by this message about the appointment of the gallery "Our Leatherwork Galleries":
"This is a temporary album that holds all the member albums from before the update. I have to sort them all ot again. This album is visible to the public, and can be shared to Facebook."
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you very much, Mike. I just returned with a liter bottle of purchased liquid latex. Now I will practice a little on scraps of leather and try your technology.
If I understood correctly, first photo - paint, the second - the traditional edge treatment. I'm right?
Both edges look amazing. The only question is which option is more stable and will last longer?
Mike, I have a question regarding the use of liquid latex to mask part of the image when dyeing. I know that you apply it in your works.
Will I have problems with removing the dryed latex, if I put it on the "hair" of a cougar?
While we have the meaning of life - we live. You have both the sense and the desire to create magnificent things. A speedy recovery for you and hundreds and thousands of wonderful new works.
The language barrier.
I must to be cautious, and then something else I will write, and this will turn out to be a foul language.
Our analogue is "a woman of Balzac's age". The American term is clearly shorter
@immiketoo Mike, thank you for the very informative video.
I even find it difficult to decide what you are better at - working with the leather or in the ability to convey your experience to others.
Originally it was supposed that it was a tiger cub.Either I made it unsuccessfully, or you need to treat your kitten with great respect after a few months
PS. Your Gingy is cutie.
