Jordan Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I took a break from sandals project and did this cover yesterday. I tried to get a sunburst effect but since I haven't found or figured out how to use a airbrush I did it by hand using mahogany antique on the edge and medium brown antique in the center. This one will be going on consignment at a local christian book store along with other stuff I have yet to think up and make. I figure I may be able to get some exposure and business. Tried to upload last night but something was screwy so I am trying again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildrose Report post Posted May 23, 2008 That is really beautiful - just shows that you don't need an airbrush necessarily to get a nice effect like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CitizenKate Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I really like that, Jordan. I never would have guessed the shading around the edges was done by hand. Nice work! Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Thanks for all the nice comments, was mostly lots of rubbing and reapplying and trial and error, more the latter I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdb Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Looks rich! Should be a good seller. I've got an old Family Bible, that has a middle section to fill in all the names and dates...births, baptisms, deaths, etc. An idea for you maybe to add a flip up section on one of the inside flaps to add a pad of paper, or something like that, so people can add their Family stuff there.

Beaverslayer Report post Posted May 24, 2008 Jordan, I really love the way you've colored this, especially the inside flaps. It gives it such a rich older look. Great job. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan Report post Posted May 24, 2008 I have thought of adding a slot to slip a pad of paper in and incorporate a pen/pencil holder of some type, if I get real adventurous I may do one with a zipper or at least a snap/strap combo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
