Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 24, 2024 Contributing Member Report Posted January 24, 2024 Your leather still a tad too wet -- but you CLOSE Let a bit more of the water come out, and you'll get richer definition without doing more work I'm not a fan of antique AT ALL, but I certainly dont EVER recommend it on "figures". Maybe if it's kept to the floral areas. These were done from those old Stohlman patterns, all from his "top 20" book for wallet designs, in 3/4 oz cowhide. No antique paste used on any of it - main (base) colors applied with an airbrush, and then depth added with STohlman's "dry brush" technique. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members sparctek Posted January 24, 2024 Members Report Posted January 24, 2024 That is a very nice carving. I have been looking at Jim's website to try my hand at some of the regional styles, but I really like this one. I may have to give it a try. Great job! Quote
