WalterF Report post Posted June 3, 2023 Had one of those days! Spent 4 hours tooling the wallet face and was finished. Reaching for the black dye, usually give it a little shake. This time the cap wasn't secure and black dye came out and a big blotch landed on the bass. Sat for a while frustrated thinking about what was going to happen. I am not a painter, I prefer natural with antique. Well out came the paints, might as well take what was going to be scrap and practice so at least some good can come of it. Like Gini said, it is better than with the black splotch. Not to her liking though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuck123wapati Report post Posted June 3, 2023 great practice piece, i have done stuff like that that, then after the practice i have used the leather again to make rough out sheathes for some of my old knives. they don't care if a ruined picture or a bunch of doodles are on the inside.

dikman Report post Posted June 3, 2023 If you hadn't said there was a black blotch on it , which, of course, made me look to try and find it, I wouldn't have known. Nice recovery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a great idea, hadn't thought of that. 1 hour ago, dikman said: If you hadn't said there was a black blotch on it , which, of course, made me look to try and find it, I wouldn't have known. Nice recovery. Yeh the dye went through to the back. it was on the front dorsal fin area. Thank you get lucky sometimes. Finished the wallet, it grew on me as it was being finished. Not that this will be a regular, but may do a few now and then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
