Storm Report post Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) I use some scrap for practice/test pieces. These were tests for some patterns I came up with. Edited April 9, 2008 by Storm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm Report post Posted April 9, 2008 Don't know what happened but here is the second piece?!?!?! Maybe too much for just one topic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drac Report post Posted April 9, 2008 those look great to me. sell 'em as jacket patches instead of sayin' they're practice pieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted April 9, 2008 I agree with Drac, sell 'em! Or keep them as souvenirs. They look good, I especially like they way you worked with pointed side of the backgrounder. I've never tried that but the effect is awsome with this one. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCOUTER Report post Posted April 11, 2008 Storm! I love seeing practice pieces! Like a work in progress or fun stuff! Both pieces look great! Can you tell us the size of the carvings? Hard to tell without reference... Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted April 11, 2008 One suggestion for you, Storm. Number them and sign them. That way, when you've built a career from leather, you can go back and sell your first pieces for extra!!! Seriously, keep them around for a while, and look at them often. It's a great way to judge yourself and follow your progress. The artwork is very nice, and I suspect we'll be seeing more from you very soon. Keep up the good work.

Storm Report post Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks much! Something like 4.5" x 6" I just hate throwing away leather. I usually end up practicing new techniques or patterns out o get a feel. very nice goulies...i agree to good for practice pieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
