Ian Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Crystal, that is awesome - I'm adding you to my 'Those who inspire you' list. I can't imagine ever reaching your skill level. I'm thinking of starting a 'Those who depress you' list. Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/
hidepounder Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 WOW Crystal...what a good job! That turned out really well and Clay told us how you improvised where you had to in order to make things work...that's huge! You can be really proud of that! And Clay, congrats on a great tutorial!

Contributing Member Crystal Posted April 17, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 17, 2009 Crystal,Outstanding job! Hopefully it was on a larger scale then your last project. Johnny Thanks Johnny! Yes this is larger than usual - it's huge! Pattern is about 10" or so. I might get used to this - not quite as much squinting needed with this size.

Contributing Member Crystal Posted April 20, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 20, 2009 Finally- All done! The coloring tutorial worked as well as the carving instructions. I didn't use quite the same colors as Clay did, but did use what I had in the same way. The white was difficult to get the way I wanted and I needed to go over it a few times. I didn't use the blue for shadowing, I used gray instead and ended up adding a little bit of tan to it. I need to get a sealer on it, yet. Thanks Clay!!! Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather
