Contributing Member Clay Posted March 26, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 26, 2009 Ernie!! That is very nice!! Now that you have taught this to the every one here on LW.net you should go south one state and give a class on it!! I think I know someone who would be happy to host it. It would be lots of fun!!!!! How about it everyone? Don't you think that ClayB would do a great job with this beautiful bird as the subject of a weekend class? Bert Quote Clay Miller

mendedbowl Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 showing how this is done in a class would be great..but i would love to see this on DVD also. i'm sure there are many people like me who learn better by watching something over and over again. (i have a large and still growing collection of DVDs from artists such as Robert Beard, Rene Berends, Shirley Peterson, George Hurst, and Chuck Burrows, and i've watched each one several times.) i think it would be a wonderful learning tool, and a way to archive great artists for future generations if tutorials such as this one were also committed to video. (i know i would love to buy videos of figure carving such as this wren, motor cycle seat construction, armor making, floggers and paddles, corsets, and other leather garments...this is just my wish list, i'm sure there are many other topics that would be desired by others.) Clay you're a gifted artist, very clear with your step by step explanations, and this wren is beautiful. please consider a DVD video. ken Quote

Ernie is definitely ready to start teaching. No one out there puts as much effort into showing how it's done than he does. Clay, ClayB that is, I am excedingly impressed by your attention to detail and the manner you conciensiously take pictures of every step of the way, making it clear to anyone and everyone exactly what it is that you do next. You are already a teacher, even if you haven't had people sitting in front of you while you're teaching. Most people learn much better from a living, breathing being than from even an intense structure of pictures like yours. You should seriously consider going out and giving lessons. I'm willing to bet that you would draw a croud. Your fan, Kathy Quote All bad yaks make their way to the freezer.
Contributing Member ClayB Posted March 27, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted March 27, 2009 Thank you all again for the nice comments. Bert, this is actually something I'd feel fairly comfortable trying to teach in a couple days. We'll have to figure out the details. Just make sure Kathy is there to take over if I blow it! Ken, I have a digital video camera and I played with it a little last year. One of these days I'll have to set it up again and see what I can do with it. There's been talk about having videos here on the forum someday, so you never know. Quote ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website
Members Tina Posted March 27, 2009 Members Report Posted March 27, 2009 Fantastic little bird Clay:-) One of my favourites to watch in the garden, always a buzzy bee and fun to observe. You really caught the essens of this small bird, I also like the coloring loads Always a Clay-fan Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

gtwister09 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Clay. Not that you need anymore encouragement but the classes would be great as well as DVDs. Stunning work as ALWAYS! Tina said it best... Always a Clay-fan Regards, Ben Quote

Contributing Member Crystal Posted March 29, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 29, 2009 Clay - You did a fabulous job on the wren! I am glad to see it popping up as your avatar, it deserves some showing off, especially since you did him on a piece of scrap... Thank you for taking the time to do a write-up. I don't think you are allowed to call yourself "color challenged" anymore. I will second or third or fourth the motion that you should teach more classes. I think you are a natural for it. Of course you have a fan club! Start teaching classes so we can get promoted from fans to groupies. Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather
