Members Tina Posted June 20, 2009 Members Report Posted June 20, 2009 I have been making this dayplanner cover for some time now and all I can say is...I got to get me one of them sewing machines. I'm soar in my arms it hurst in muscles my body forgott it had, the fingers feels like they're going to fall of and the time spent is Waaaay to much, Yiiks! Anyhow, I'm rather happy with the overall design I made and the colors. When we move back to Sweden I decided to get a more Scandinavian sounding name for my hobby and a proper logo, this might be it...For the moment the name is blurred out on the pictures on purpose. In many mythological tales the raven is originally white and I know there is white ravens in Canada so, I thought why not? They actually have blue eyes too:-) This planner covers a 9 3/4 x 7 1/2 inch booklet (25x19cm) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands, and his head, and his heart, is An Artist" http://vildkorpens-laderlya.deviantart.com http://tupali.deviantart.com/

I really love that warm glow your projects always have.Kate Thank you Kate:-) I'm working on the very last of the old Tandy medium brown antiquing...I hope I manage to find some other product to get me the same resault in the future (not using Eco-Flow, tried and did not like at all) Another tip I can give is always using a warm and a cold color so they work together, makes both of them "pop" more:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted June 20, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted June 20, 2009 Tina, that is spec-freaking-tacular! I can easily see that one entered in a contest and taking "best of category", hands down.

Members Tina Posted June 20, 2009 Author Members Report Posted June 20, 2009 What others have you tried, so far?Kate I've tried Fiebings, the paste in a small jar...This is the one I think I'm going to use in the future if nothing else shows up:-) Tina, that is spec-freaking-tacular!I can easily see that one entered in a contest and taking "best of category", hands down. *LOL* Thanks... I agree to a point, the stiching needs to get better and I really don't know how without a machine. A machine would give my work that nice finish I so want it to have.

If you like it a little lighter, you might try mixing it 1:1 or even 2:1 with Tan-Kote and see how well you like that. Kate Quote
