drof99 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post 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!

Storm Report post 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.

SojournerLeather Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!

Vikti Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
