Go2Tex Report post Posted February 13, 2009 Ah yes, I can see why you can command the prices you do. There is a lot of work goes into them. Now, I'm wondering how you achieved the effect. I can see you carved the flames, and I presume you then painted them after the overall dye. Am I close? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see you carved the flames, and I presume you then painted them after the overall dye. Am I close? The orange flames were just drawn lightly and dyed and then covered in resist. Then the white flames were carved and the outlines done in resist - then the black was applied. For the puzzle-piece latch and the bottom we did the same thing on the with the resist on the outline. The one thing that bugs me is that we didn't follow the curve exactly in some of the flame tips when we sewed the overlays on.
