Steveg Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Well I guess its my turn to post. This is a binder cover I am making. Finished the background with Neetsfoots and used spirit dyes on the flower.

howardb Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Is that an inverse carve? I've been trying to figure that out for a month. FANTASTIC! Tooling looks good, colors are very pretty. I love the way the leaf tips feather out to brown & yellow. Very nice! Brent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I copied the pattern from the 'Inverted Leather Carving" by Al Stohlman that I purchased at a Tandy store. I really like the inverted carving for the things I do. I added a photo of the binder finished. I have been trying Peter Main techniques I learned in his class. It has been a challenge for me, but seeing him do it in person has helped a lot. This is my best color dye so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
