What's the lining that you used? John aka Indy Edited June 10, 2008 by indypbear Quote
TomSwede Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Thanks guys! Yeah that stamp is tough to handle, just gotta be firm with it. The liner fabric is some sort of satin blackish red colour with black decorations on it. It really was a good find for this project. BTW, the liner was difficult to glue since it is so thin. Had to remake it one time 'cuz the first one was bleeding through and looked bad.

Hilly Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Great looking purse, Tom! You sure have a good eye for detail. The new owner should be very pleased with it! You must have a strong arm to control that maker's stamp. I've found that when I whack my maker's stamp with a mallet, I get that bounce everyone talks about. If I whack it with a 1 pound rubber mallet, I get a very clear impression with no bounce. Must be the mallet bounces instead of the stamp? Hilly Quote
TomSwede Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks Hilly! I think she'll like it too. Haven't figuread out what forces is going on when whacking big stamps but here sure are forces and ways to del with it. I saw some people prefferred a metalhammer (!) some rubber some dead blow types. I use a 42oz deadblow and keep my work to the ground and lay my bodyweight over the stamp and then strike.

Tom I had faith you'd develop a technique. Deadblow is good and a firm grip tight to the project with ONE strike! Small mallet-small die, Large mallet-large die, mobetta. Indy Quote

Colman Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Tom, Another fine piece of work! The color is great. Did you base your wesite colors on this purse or vice versa? Outstanding purse. Johnny Quote Endeavor to perceiver.
