CFM chuck123wapati Posted May 7, 2024 CFM Report Posted May 7, 2024 My daughter drew this out last year and then forgot about it. I was bored so grabbed it the other day and did the knife work and tooling for her then she colored it using only red, blue, green and yellow dyes. She mixed the colors herself even the dark brown is made with those four colors. I can tell you if you want an exercise in the swivel knife and some good practice then send her a chunk of leather lol I about went cross eyed.

Members Gezzer Posted May 7, 2024 Members Report Posted May 7, 2024 VERY NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Members Mablung Posted May 7, 2024 Members Report Posted May 7, 2024 Beautiful work! The tooling is great; looking at your shading especially, as I'm just learning to do that and trying to get it down. Your daughter's paint work is great as well. Two thumbs up. Quote

Members dikman Posted May 7, 2024 Members Report Posted May 7, 2024 Going cross-eyed is an understatement! There's a lot of very fine short cuts in that, you did a great job. And so did your daughter. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members jrdunn Posted May 7, 2024 Members Report Posted May 7, 2024 Very cool! I'm guessing that Orchid is her name? I really enjoy it when young people take an interest in my craft. I suppose that is part of being an old geezer. JM2C, Jim Quote
AlZilla Posted May 7, 2024 Report Posted May 7, 2024 Wow. The girl has a really deft hand with the paintbrush and a good eye for color. Blowing the pics up shows quite a lot of precision work. The guy she hired to do the knife work and tooling is pretty fair, too ...

Members TonyV Posted May 8, 2024 Members Report Posted May 8, 2024 she has an eye for detail and the talent to make it come alive. And your tooling is impeccable. Great teamwork! Quote
