Contributing Member Clay Posted May 9, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted May 9, 2008 Hey all, On the post I made about the album some, one suggested that the shell stamp would make great scales for a dragon. I was thinking about it and came up with this. I started by stamping out an area with various background stamps. Then over that I did the shell stamp and the filler. Makes very cool looking scales. Now if I ever have to carve a dragon I will have something to make it different. ClayM. Quote Clay Miller
Ambassador freak Posted May 9, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted May 9, 2008 I don't believe you. so go carve a dragon and then we'll see.... That looks pretty good and gives a great scale effect . I've been slowly drawing up another koi scene. I think i just might try that when i get ready to pound it into dead cow. Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start. Check out the freakSHOW

Members anne newkold Posted May 9, 2008 Members Report Posted May 9, 2008 Very interesting Clay. I had bought Bob Beards scale tools because I like the way they actually undercut the leather at the tips of the scales. but your ideas are very cool.

Contributing Member Regis Posted May 9, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted May 9, 2008 After seeing your pictures/post I've experimented with several different combinations of stamps. For example an S630 with a V744. And V744 above an N363. For scalelike look I also used U858 over top lightly stamped G605.

But you sure did put much more attention to the detail in your research. Thanks for sharing. Edited May 9, 2008 by MadTailor Quote madtailorleather.com https://www.instagram.com/mad_tailor_leather/
Members rickeyfro Posted May 10, 2008 Members Report Posted May 10, 2008 Clay, Im not clear on what tool the "filler" is. Quote
