Members Tina Posted July 23, 2009 Members Report Posted July 23, 2009 Hi all well now all the tools is going down in boxes but I manage to get this wedding gift done intime so...Happy about that:-) This is a container for a bottle of French Champange to be used at either the wedding night or the first anniversary maybe??? Anyways, loads of scrollwork on this one, it tock forever to get done. Dyed with well dilutet Angelus dyes and Fiebings Hi-Liter. I used calf leather for all the braiding (in TomSwede's braiding technique) except for the shiny stuff which is Mylar. This is also my first project totally using mauls. I have 2 of them, both from Bearman here on LW and I have to say, Gorgeous first class tools and I Love'm Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Thanks you much:-) To tell the truth, as most arty people I am my worst enemy when critiquing my own work...Lets just say I'm semi happy with it and I know what to do differently the next time (no Hi-Lite inside the text area, you live and learn *S*) Tina is still my favorite leather artist... not worker... artist. Your vision and execution is inspiring. Thank you! Thank you loads for your beliefs in me, it warms my heart:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

TomSwede Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Hey Sis!! That is outstanding and great looking tube. You know I love tubes!!! I can't take credit for the braid, it was ShirleyZ who described this simplified mexican roundbraid in a post and I started to use it because to gives just a good cover as the real roundbraid and I wanted some variation from it (the handles for my fishingrod tubes). That type of mauls scares me. They look beautiful but uncomfortable to me. Why is the head rounded, anyone?? I like a thin handle so I can swing it easily between my index finger and thumb. Good to hear you're wrapping things up and coming home, it's been oh so lonely here;-) Love your container!!!
