Jaymack Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I finally made something for myself. I've been looking to carve Tiger or Wolf eyes on the back of a belt, so I'm experimenting on this checkbook cover. I generally like just leather dyes, but dye didn't bring the eyes out, so I painted them with acrylics. Thanks for looking! John Quote
Members Radthalan Posted January 2, 2012 Members Report Posted January 2, 2012 Wow! I would be afraid to open it up for fear of being bitten. Those eyes look great. Real enough to prevent anybody from pickpocketing you wallet. Quote
Members Rohn Posted January 2, 2012 Members Report Posted January 2, 2012 If looks could..... Lol. Those are really good. Love them. Quote

John John, I keep coming back here to look at how you did those eyes, they are mesmerizing. I want to try and do a horse eye and see if I can bring out the detail like you did. Great job. Quote

I was at the barn yesterday afternoon and took my camera with me to get a picture of Sienna's eyes. I know it won't be anywhere as dramatic as your eyes, but man did i get the shots I wanted. She was being wiggly and silly while I was grooming her, but when I took the pictures you can (hopefully) see how soft her eye was. I put up the original picture then cropped it to show the part I want to be able to catch on leather. Thanks for showing us your beautiful work. Quote
Members Steff Posted January 12, 2012 Members Report Posted January 12, 2012 Wow, that is cool! I wish I could finish like that! Keep up the great work Steff Quote
