Members Tina Posted March 12, 2011 Members Report Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) 2 Elisabethan swordfrogs. One with an authentic patterns from a viking church (all wood) in Norway. The other frog is just basket weave stamped and dyed i 3 different colors, greenish at the middle, then brown and finallly black around the edges. All dye is applied with airbrush. The last piece I just finished is a scroll holder. I tooled an old Scandinavian/north western European map from around 1630-ish I found online. All colors is spirit dyes except for the small details in black and white wich is acryllic paint. I did not manage to get a good picture (yet) of the top lid but that one also has a compass in black and white carved & tooled. I hope you enjoy :-) Edited March 12, 2011 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.

Members Tina Posted March 21, 2011 Author Members Report Posted March 21, 2011 Thank you all for your very nice comments:-) I love trying to come up with new ideas (if possible) or redraw old patterns to make something newer and hopefully more interesting, sometimes you win, and sometimes you loose *S* I have a few new things on the workbench I hope to get done by this week, I just hope it will work the way it's intended...

Members Bard Skye Posted September 28, 2011 Members Report Posted September 28, 2011 Beatiful work! I've just returned to leather carving, myself, and still need a *lot* of practice / advice. What did you use to get the "bubble" texture along the shorline of your map? Skye Quote

Everything looks great Tina, but as others have mentioned, that scroll holder is top notch work. Excellent idea on using an old map, the tooling and color on everything is very easy on the eyes.

Skye hey Skye, Those pebble tools are available a couple of places but the most common are from Springfield Leather: http://springfieldleather.com/product/6489/Stamping-Tool%2CPA005/ There are 3 different sizes (the other two are shown below on the same page).

Cheers, Andy Hey Andy, do yourself a favor, like I did, and order a handful of PA004 (the middle size one) and then regrind them to the various backgrounder shapes. You'll be glad you did. I now have 6 or so of them reground to various profiles and use them all the time. Chris Quote Chris Three Mutts Customs Leather - http://www.threemuttscustoms.com

Members Bard Skye Posted September 29, 2011 Members Report Posted September 29, 2011 Hi Tina Back again with a couple of more questions. What are the dimentions on that scroll case? And, are your colors dye or acrylics? What manufacturer? Thanks again. Skye Quote

Skye The holder is almost a foot high and I think close to 3 inch in diameter (I don't have it infront of me right now) I use Angelus spirit dyes and acryllic white paint (sometime black paint too) On this scroll holder I have also used the old style medium brown antiquing from Tandy (before Eco-line), I was lucky enough to find a few big bottles before they were discontinued. I get the spirit dye from a gourd supplier, he's got the best price I have found: www.turtlefeathers.net Edited September 29, 2011 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
