karl Report post Posted March 31, 2008 Hi fellas, Its been a while since I have posted anything and I thought I would post this. I'll bet a lot of you guys have done this at one time or another. Just take a piece of scrap leather and start stamping different things and seeing what turns up. Sometimes they ain't so bad and you can keep them in a box for Ideas for belts or anything.

karl Report post Posted March 31, 2008 Wow Karl,You sure turn up some good stuff for just messing around. Thanks a lot. I just got a lot of different stamps and love to sketch and in place of drawing on paper, I just let my imagination run with stamps and beveling and just let it go where it may.

Spider Report post Posted March 31, 2008 I fully agree. I don't think I have many things I preplan. lol Check out the website for a bunch of random works of art...or stuff like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted March 31, 2008 I agree with Spider! That is slick! How big is that piece, look like you've done some really tiny work there. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karl Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Tom, That piece of leather is abour 5 1/2 inches long and maybe 1 1/2 inches or so tall (or wide) and a piece of 10/12 oz scrap from my saddle. Karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Froghunter Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Nice work. Man, are we supposed to PLAN our stuff. I been doin' it all wrong then. I pretty much just get an idea and go with it. I probably have 6- 10 projects going at once. Someday I'll even find the time to finish a couple! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karl Report post Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) Frog, When I'm playing around, I just set and look at my different tools and stamps and start seeing a picture in my brain, and then start stamping and beveling itand practice a lot on srcap pieces. I am kind of going slow right now, I am making a small half size saddle with a basket weave on the skirt and trying to picture what else to do with it and letting my Rheumatoid Arthritis kind of calm down for a while. It gets a little out of hand, so to speak, when I over do it sometimes. Karl Edited April 1, 2008 by karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
