Members Storm Posted February 10, 2010 Author Members Report Posted February 10, 2010 Look great! Are you doing an all in one over the design? If so are you having problems with it blasting into resists? Just wonder.... I love the doodles! Yup I am using a Prairie Tan All-In-One 50% distilled water to dye mix. The resist in Super Shene with three solid layers and making sure to let it all dry thoroughly before using the all-in-one. I use a piece of scrap sheep's wool to apply the dye. Works reall well.

Members resqman Posted February 13, 2010 Members Report Posted February 13, 2010 Sorry, I grew up in Atlanta Ga and then moved to North Carolina. The state flower (year I know it is a tree) of North Carolina is the dogwood. All I have ever known for the last 50 years is the 4 petaled flower. Your leatherwork is very nice. The shape of your dogwoods must be from out west somewhere. 'round here we ain't never seen such as a 5 petaled dogwood. Quote
Members Sasquatch Posted February 13, 2010 Members Report Posted February 13, 2010 The Dogwood flower is also the flower of my home town and the ones I have seen have anywhere from 4 to 6 and I have even seen a few with 7 petals. Quote www.makoaleather.com
Members Storm Posted February 18, 2010 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2010 Other examples and also Al Stohlman used to do Dogwood with 5 petals. They may have four five or six petals. Technically they are not flowers petals but somethings called bracts. In botany, a bract is a modified or specialized leaf, especially one associated with a reproductive structure such as a flower, inflorescence axis, or cone scale. Bracts are often (but not always) different from foliage leaves, for example being smaller, larger, or of a different color or texture. The five bract dogwood is the Provincial Flower of British Colombia in Canada. Al Stohlman had a ranch at Cache Creek,British Colombia and the reason why he included five bract in his dogwood designs as well as four!

Members Tkleather1 Posted February 19, 2010 Members Report Posted February 19, 2010 Looks good storm except one thing is jumping out at me. it took me a while to figure out what it was and I think its the stops that are used in the leaves do not look natural I would refine that a touch but other than that you are well on your way to stardome. Just my two cents you dont have to listen but I always try to Tim Worley TK-Leather Quote Tim Worley TK-Leather If you don't ask and dont try how are you gonna learn anything?
