Members skipj Posted March 8, 2008 Members Report Posted March 8, 2008 Kathy, congratulations on winning first place. There was no question of whose carving was best; although all the other work was excellent. Nice prize too. SkipJ Quote
Members leatherpoker Posted March 12, 2008 Members Report Posted March 12, 2008 I Love it! Hahaha! Can you give me an idea of the scale? It is amazing! Quote
yaklady Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Posted March 17, 2008 Obviously, I'm slacking! I didn't even notice all these kind comments you people have been leaving for me. Leatherpoker, The picture is 16" x 20", and the mule fills it up pretty good. I think a mini-mule's head would be about the same size as this mule's head, but of course the picture depicts a larger mule. Skip, I'm glad you got to see it first hand. Leather stuff always looks much better in person. Wish I had run into you. Yes, I really like the prize! Kate, it's those little details that I enjoy the most. How real can I make it look? That's what I strive for, and once in a while, I accomplish it. You do very nice work, too. I'm lucky you weren't in that competition! Mike, the eyes were done with the extreme embossing and the gloss lacquer. Sounds like you know all about that. Do you have any embossed projects to share? Thank you all for the compliments and encouraging comments. It makes me want to do some more! Kathy Quote All bad yaks make their way to the freezer.
