Members Storm Posted April 14, 2008 Members Report Posted April 14, 2008 Just a couple of pieces with my trying out a new border. Have to give it some more pratice but I like the direction. Quote
TomSwede Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Looking good so far! I have this tool and like this border alot but think it does require some practice. Good luck with it! Tom Quote
Ambassador leatheroo Posted April 16, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted April 16, 2008 i love this boarder, on my list to get this tool Quote
Members drof99 Posted April 16, 2008 Members Report Posted April 16, 2008 I really like that border. Can you post pic of the tool? I've been looking for something like that at Tandy but haven't found it. Where did you get yours, if you don't mind me asking? Quote
TomSwede Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 This is the one http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/product...?number=6445-00 This is the overview page http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/products.asp?dept=407 Comes in different sizes. Tom Quote
Members Spider Posted April 16, 2008 Members Report Posted April 16, 2008 I like this border tool. Has much potential and you are doing well with it. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted April 16, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) Turn it on a 45 degree and you get hearts. Edited April 16, 2008 by Jordan Quote
Members Hedge Posted April 16, 2008 Members Report Posted April 16, 2008 This is the one http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/product...?number=6445-00 This is the overview page http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/products.asp?dept=407 Comes in different sizes. Tom Tom, this one will also give you a slightly different version of the Greek Meander: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/product...?number=6447-00 Quote
TomSwede Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) Oh yes, you're right! Looks interresting to put in that pattern. Seeing just one stamp impression seldom makes me see the use of it. Maybe some people have an eye for this or perhaps it develops after using this types more and more. Jordan seems to have "the eye". Thank you Hedge! Tom Edited April 16, 2008 by TomSwede Quote
Members Storm Posted April 16, 2008 Author Members Report Posted April 16, 2008 Thanks for the compliments. I am just practicing to get the nuances down. Herewith is a coaster with another tool I bought Craftool D447. A picture of it as well as the other D445 are attached. There are also smaller versions of this D445. I want to get them also. I really like them. Quote
Members Storm Posted April 16, 2008 Author Members Report Posted April 16, 2008 GUYS I FOUND A GREAT SITE AND IT HAS A TUTORIAL OF SORTS FOR THE BORDER. THEY CALL IT THE SAN CARLOS BORDER. http://saddleblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/stamping.html STORM Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted April 16, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 16, 2008 wish i could take credit but no I saw the heart thing on the tandy site or in one of their emails. Quote
Members SojournerLeather Posted April 16, 2008 Members Report Posted April 16, 2008 I just bought that D447. I'll often layer one of the craftool stamps with a hand-made stamp to give it a new look. Here's the last piece I did with that same stamp. Nice coasters, Storm! Quote

Here's the last piece I did with that same stamp. Nice coasters, Storm! What a classy design - now, the next question is; how you do your dye to keep the design natural and the background black...hmmm. I sure as heck can't figure out that technique. Very nice indeed!

Members Vikti Posted February 26, 2010 Members Report Posted February 26, 2010 The forums got revamped a few months back and I think that some of the pictures were lost or simply haven't made their way back on yet. Damon Quote
