Members anester05 Posted February 10, 2009 Members Report Posted February 10, 2009 First I am not an artist, so I need patterns. I want to make a good bible cover and am in need of a vine design. I have looked at what Tandy has and am not impressed. Does anybody no of a good design in a book I could get. Or can I pay someone to make me a design. Thanks Adam Quote

I just want a old school catholic church look to it. I plan on incorporating the design of the cross on the back cover. The front I want to say "HOLY BIBLE" and be able to put initials underneath it. I have been planing on making a donation just waiting on a paycheck. Kinda of like a sheridan design without the flowers. Thanks Adam Edited February 10, 2009 by anester05 Quote

Thanks Adam Hi Again Adam If there is something I really don't do well it's Sheridan style drawings, most anything else works except that:-( But, don't give up, there is loads of people here that do Sheridan super nice, so just tank up with some patience and you'll be heard:-) Quote

Colman Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Adam, You may want to get this book "Florid Victorian Ornament" from Dover. There are a lot of engravings that are adaptable to leather. and vines Johnny Quote
