Members Bluesman Posted February 24, 2012 Members Report Posted February 24, 2012 Very nice pattern and excellent job. What did you use to raise the leafs? Quote
gringobill Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 That's a great looking piece. I've seen your work before and it seems like you've developed your own carving style which is really enviable, it is different and looks really good. The design is very "old world," baroque looking which makes sense, since you are "over there," and I imagine are exposed to a lot of those old world classic designs. I believe the original tooling patterns that came to the Americas from Spain and Europe originated from those old classic designs but have been modified and "watered down," over the ages. You seem to have gone the other way with your designs staying truer to those old classic design elements. Also your coloring/antiqueing is different from most that we see and that is also good. Your work is very distinctive and recognizable. The construction and attention to detail is also very clean looking. Very nice!!!!! Bill Quote

I am glad that you pay attantion to my works. You commented my work like an art critic. I try to make my own style based on barokko style. But i am still in a process of learning - my own styl has not finished yet. Thank you very much. Quote
Members impulse Posted February 29, 2012 Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 What a beautiful bag! Your work is exquisite, with great design and perfect stitching - it must have taken you forever to make. The only critique that I can make is using basketweave on the handle. This pattern is not used elsewhere and doesn't seem to fit in with your design. Hope you don't mind me pointing this out. Regards Lois Quote
