Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 18, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted January 18, 2010 the glue dots worked well, how ever the customer didnt see it my way (chuckle) so back to the drawing board, some customers have no flair for artistic expansions (chuckle) &^$^#%$&%&%$%&$!!! I was looking for the finished goodies How about this.... paint (with a S M A L L brush) your glue on (or whatever you use to mask)...paint the sky (probably wiith a thin wash)... then remove the glue (pointed X-acto works as well as anything). Keeps 'em bright without being "raised" (??). Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

I was going to suggest a hint of gold mixed into the white if you're using gold hardware, but if they like the color, there's no arguing with that. The "distressed" is a whole nuther issue. Depending on how large the bag, you might find a hide that has that already in it that you can cut out of? You might paint using a "marbled" effect, but that takes a bit of time and it sounds like you have some good labor in it already ... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members maddhatter Posted January 18, 2010 Author Members Report Posted January 18, 2010 hmmm marbled effect, sounds intresting i have an idea or two on that one, what would you suggest ? just got scrap time invested so far and always need practice braiding so doing a moc version of the bag is practice and i can always try to sell it for a coin purse (chuckle) if the customer doesnt like it.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 18, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) hmmm marbled effect, sounds intresting i have an idea or two on that one, what would you suggest ? That would take forever to explain, but you can see it done if you check youtube and search for "airbrush smoke". Tends to look bigger than it is, just information. Years back, I remodeled this little girl's bedroom. Her and the sister were getting on each other's nerves - or something like that - so she was moving to another "room". It was so small that by the time we gutted and drywalled, I'm thinking even this little one (about 5-6 years) is going to go nuts. Painted the thing to look like the sky ... shades blended blues gradually fading to a white ceiling (no line). STILL the talk around here, little girl is now 14 and "dating" my oldest... SURELY she's gonna want that painted "big girl" style soon ... Edited January 18, 2010 by JLSleather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 22, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted January 22, 2010 Pretty tough to see (it's way bigger than my screen), but if the customer liked it yer good Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."
