Storm Report post Posted January 6, 2010 Very nice stuff! I really like your idea for the colored pencil case pocket. That's cool!!! Storm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdwintx Report post Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks folks, the design is ancient Mayan actually so I can't take credit except for copying. As for the charcoal case pocket I figured it wasn't much good without pencils and this way she would always have something to write/draw with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schno Report post Posted January 6, 2010 Beautiful coloring on that! How did you achieve that effect? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdwintx Report post Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) I just used tandy dyes, did some mixing for some of the color, especially the orange of the jaguar. Then used color block on the items in differing number of coats depending on how much color I wanted to retain, I think the most I used was 4 coats, everything else got 2 or 3. Then I finished the whole thing off with saddle tan antique finish, after that kinda dried I splashed some water on it and rubbed that out. I finished and buffed it out with Aussie Wax.
