The letters look wrong but they are all the same style .

I don't think it's a step backward IF you learn something.

So what do you think is the failure on this piece? The only thing that gives me pause is that the yellow paint has a little "over run" and seems to have been too thick when you began painting.

A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"

Sylvia,

New swivel knife-wrong casing.

The paint is thick oil. That is the texture I wanted. the over paint was done on purpose.

Learned when I was 9 years old. You done somthing really bad, cover it up by doing something

almost as dumb and the first thing you did is not noticed intill it's to late.

Shoot, I agree with Sylvia. If you learned something, all was not lost.

What are you going to use it for?

Ha! I love the 9 year old logic. So true. I often say everything I needed to know.... I learned in Kindergarten.

I've never heard of oil paint being used on leather... how has it been holding up?

Well i smoke a pipe and the people that request use for them for display. .

They usually represent the blend they like and I may get a free sample of

pipe tobacco. Also it is good training.

I usually use paint that you buy for model cars-planes. But they dried out. I have used the oil before and

it has held up. Use a Mattie paste that seals .The oil paint gives it a textured look. I do not try to thin it.

like looking up close at an oil painting and it is bad,but step away and see the difference.

i thought it wold give an appearance of an old sign. Holding up? most are for display

The hodge podge i use is for covering Decoupage of different type of media.

Well, if you use model car paint... have you tried nail polish yet? Wet and Wild brand has just about any color you could ever want and it comes with a brush in the bottle. Hmmm... that might be something I could use!

Hey, I like it....huhhh what u gonna do about that....??

It is never a failure when u try, it is one when u give up......u wanna see some of that stuff I did many moons ago...u better sit down and have a bucket handy...haha...but I tried again, and again and then some more...and now, today...guess what....I am still a rookie and still trying to get perfect!!!

It is not the destination what makes it such a great ride...it is the journey itself.....!!

So go and try again, again and then again....u will like the way this works.....because u will get better!!

Now, back to the bench and lets do some work!!

Greetings

Jimbob,

Every-time you pound leather you are learning. Right now I am going backwards-happens in any thing.

Bought 2 new hollow ground blades and it's a new learning experience.i feel when I cut with it, I need

to stitch it together.post-13948-023332500 1333105180_thumb.pn

This is already traced on a 4 inch round. The guy I sent the barrel coaster to likes it.

I do tend to push the envelope.

Joe
