SCOUTER Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 In this month's sales flyer, Tandy had this little Cell Phone Case Kit for $9-. Well, I am always looking for a one night project to keep down the withdrawals... The kit was very nice! Good materials, hardware... I really enjoyed making this! Quote

Members Spider Posted March 20, 2008 Members Report Posted March 20, 2008 Scouter, I've seen that and always wondered how it would be to do it. Yours came out cool. Don't tell me...Sharpie? Looks good. Quote From the insane mind of SPIDER... http://spiderflesh.com Myspace: Spiderflesh Facebook: Spiderflesh George
SCOUTER Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 Spider! Only a little sharpie this time! I used all Fieblings (alcohol based) first I started with Yellow and then I added a little Mahogany and shaded and also went over cuts... Then a little more mahogany and hit some random scales... Added a little light-brown and finished sides... The Sharpie did the eyes Black and some acrylic white highlights. Finished off with Leather sheen... Quote
Members daviD A Morris Posted March 21, 2008 Members Report Posted March 21, 2008 I think that they are brilliant!! And very nice photography as well. The idea of using a sharpie sounds good. Has anyone thought of having sharpies (or the equivalent of) loaded with Fieblings (alcohol based). Maybe someone could suggest it to Fieblings as a good way of applying dies accuratley to small areas in a more controlled manner than brushes, which can drip. Or am I behind the game and it has already been done. Quote Remember to drink the coffee not the edging dye!
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted March 21, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted March 21, 2008 I don't know exactly what solvent Sharpie uses, but it is permanent on leather. Add to that the myriad color and tip choices that Sharpie already offers. So, I think a Fiebing's pen might be reinventing the wheel. A nice idea IMO, would be to make one with the 'brush' tip, so one could vary the line thickness more easily.

Here is Aus i've only ever seen red, black and blue. But that is a typical situation of the variety of supplies available in the USA compared to aus. I'll look out for some other colors of sharpie when i'm there in May. Thanks dam Quote Remember to drink the coffee not the edging dye!
