Froghunter Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Finished this one today. It's a dayplanner for my daughter. She loves Alligators! So some embossed cowigator (albino) was located and this is what I came up with. Her name is Rebecca, so I personalized it a bit and added her nick on the spine. The stitching is by hand, and I THINK I am getting better! Thread is the new Tandy Orange Braided Nylon. The color is Eco-flo Range Tan as a base and Eco-Flo Antique Saddle Tan as a top coat. I finished it in good ol' neet lac, three hand rubbed coats. Lemme know what ya think! Quote ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pounding on dead animal flesh, who woulda Thunk it!
TomSwede Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Nice work again Frog! Lot's of exotic leather today I think. I get jealous, I've been googling for it but can't find any of it in Sweden. Suspecting import laws. Anyway nice celtic style floral there, must be your own invention again. Croc or gator on the back is really cool. Nice going!

Contributing Member ClayB Posted April 12, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 12, 2008 You've really been coming up with some neat stuff! I like how you did the aligator a lot. That Sheridan carving you did a while ago with the skulls was pretty neat too. I might have to steal that idea from you. Keep those pictures coming.

Kevin King Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I like it. Especially the tooled gator. Looks inlayed at first glance. KK Quote The second kick from a jackass is of no educational value. Official Freak Fan Club President FACEBOOK kevinkingleather.com

I love how the gator came out, as KK says, at first glance it looks like inlays, very cool:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

The design appears to be kind of a "celtic western floral" hybrid another famous Froghunter design. I'll bet my square that 'Becca really likes it. Your stitching looks so good that I have to look closely to tell if it's machine or hand stitched. How did you finish the edges-slick or just raw, can't see it? John aka Indy Quote
Members zman7458 Posted April 13, 2008 Members Report Posted April 13, 2008 great looking planner Frog, the color is excellant. how'd you do the inside? Quote Its not the destination its the journey.
