Members Go2Tex Posted February 1, 2009 Members Report Posted February 1, 2009 How does he do the liner? It almost looks painted on. Quote Brent Tubre email: BCL@ziplinkmail.com
Members Rawhide Posted February 1, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 1, 2009 How does he do the liner? It almost looks painted on. I believe it's just a thin leather liner that's tooled dyed and sewn on. Peter's dying skills are so tremendous that he can make illusions where there are none. Quote Marlon

Members Rawhide Posted February 2, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 2, 2009 Peter is an extraordinary gentleman from Austrailia who started out as a graphics designer. He began playing with leather as a medium in the seventies. He's written several works on Al & Ann Stohlman, as well as a couple of his own books. He currently resides in the US. If you ever have a chance to meet him or take a class, be sure and do so. He's one of a kind. Quote Marlon
Members Leerwerker Posted February 2, 2009 Members Report Posted February 2, 2009 The work on the inside of the belts is such a waste! Peter, what are you thinking! Hiding such nice work against some sweaty old belly! Rather make the belts twice the width and put that incredible work on the outside too!
