Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 28, 2012 Author Contributing Member Report Posted January 28, 2012 That was the ruling from the booth. I opened the challenge and I'm saying the hammer is 'okay'....you're not really using the hammer to do anything to the leather. You're hitting a stamp with it. The stamp is what's doing something to the leather.:D Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Members chancey77 Posted January 28, 2012 Members Report Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) OK posted mine in my last comment edit...CHECK IT OUT! Eagle is a Kaisa Chancey original...My wife drew the pencil drawing on paper for me:) So just again... Background was made by the grips from my burnishing tool:) Edited January 28, 2012 by chancey77
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 28, 2012 Author Contributing Member Report Posted January 28, 2012 Excellent! Using the grips to make the background is EXACTLY the kind of innovation I was hoping to see. Thank you for posting!

Members chancey77 Posted January 29, 2012 Members Report Posted January 29, 2012 Guess everyone is on Sunday nap time after church and lunch today...me I have been working:) I really liked this challenge I think it might be only the 2nd eagle I have ever done, and today after looking at the other one now on my wall with a bunch of other smalls, the feathers where really bugging me, so I remade another one:) Really trying to come to grips with what is not enough , what is to over the top and what is the perfect balance??? Every project always presents its own challenges and this one was for sure the feathers.... Yesterday I timed that one; and I spent 27 mins after I got Kaisa's picture on the leather and today I spent maybe 45 trying to take my time with it and find a balance...maybe I need to do a 3rd one????? hahahaha This is a good one for me for sure! I didn't do a background this time, just trying to work on the feathers:) If anyone has some tips about feathers I am all ears:) But I did only use the same 2 tools:) Thanks MIKE!
Members gesa Posted January 29, 2012 Members Report Posted January 29, 2012 Here is my entry. It took more time to find the second tool than to carve the eagle head. It is not a unique idea, but I like a coarse background so I used a small awl . Gesa

Members gesa Posted January 29, 2012 Members Report Posted January 29, 2012 I like the ceramic blade very much, but this one is an old one. I bought it on Ebay with a bunch of old stamping tools and liked it so much that I bought also a new one. But I use the new one not very often even after polishing and stopping, then I prefer the old steel blades.
Members Rayban Posted January 30, 2012 Members Report Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Are Bud Lights considered tools???? man...I kinda suck at this.....I used a 936 beveler to make this mess......I thought I would quit while it still looked like an Eagle.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 30, 2012 Author Contributing Member Report Posted January 30, 2012 Nothing wrong as far as I can see! Still looks like an eagle, and it's more than just swivel knife cuts.....ya done good. Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."
