Members rhallskid Posted March 4, 2009 Members Report Posted March 4, 2009 Found a temporary camera so I can post pics of the goodies that tatr sent me.A sherdian tooled notepad cover, a sheridan tooled coffee cup wrap (I am a coffee-holic) and a leather feather (which was immediately put on the mantle with our collection of real feathers). I do not do sheridan style tooling so these items are now very special to me. Love, Love, Love WOW! Is all I can say--and that goes to ALL the work sent out. Funny thing is I was just searching for a leather feather how to. I haven't introduced myself but I am rhallskid--literally his daughter in NC. I don't do leather, but came on to help Dad get those pictures on here, and am now totally addicted. Luckily I got the Hall artistic abilities (which stretch the gammut) !! So I have to try everything!! I can't play and instrument, not the best singer...so scratch those! ha ha Now THIS feather I need to understand how to do it--may never ever do one but am in awe. I can't wait to see who gets what next!! And now have to figure out how to get my paws on some leather....and..... oh DAD!!.... ~~~~~ Marie ~~~~~~ I Believe....That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but, we are responsible for who we become.
Members ta2r Posted March 4, 2009 Members Report Posted March 4, 2009 I'm sorry this took so long but I had technical difficulties. Here is a really cool shirt pocket wallet that Hennessy sent me. It is made from brown full quill ostrich, and ostrich leg leather, and has a loop on the inside to hold business cards, a spring clip for money, and a compartment for change or a key that is sealed with velcro. Very nice design. My pictures don't do it justice. Thank you Hennessy!!
carr52 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 I'm not really sure what to say. Kate chose a theme that fits my State, South Carolina. The "Carolina Wren" which is our state bird and our State flower "The Yellow Jasmine". It seemed like a sin to take a picture of it with my cheap camera it is so beautiful. The pictures don't even come close to the true beauty of it. I'm at a loss for words. All I can say is thank you Kate. I will always look at it and think that someday I might reach that skill level. It is a work of art. Tom

As for reaching "that skill level", based on recent work you have posted, I would say you are getting there in good time. It won't be long before others will be saying the same thing to you. Kate

howardb Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Wow! Brilliant design work, Kate! And then to make it a functioning piece of art as well. I can't even trace designs well let alone pull off somethign like that. And it's carved oh so well! It's a keeper for sure Tom! Brent I'm not really sure what to say.

carr52 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 I agree Brent. I have very few things I like well enough to hang on my wall and this is one of them. I will cherish it always. Thanks again Kate. Tom
