Froghunter Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 ok...I am getting the hang of the site and am ready to share... My style is a little bit different. Here are a couple of samples. A dragon done a some scrap (Now adorning a book cover). It was my first stab at celtic and I am really happy with the way it turned out. The second is a carry bag I did for my sister who is a professional art instructor. The first stab at mexican basket weave and I only messed up a couple of times, but all in all it came out great! She loved it... What do ya think? Quote
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 18, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 18, 2008 Frog, the Celtic and Dragon ROCK, I love it and the purse is real nice as well, the lacing turned out real good. Ken Quote
Members Maeshin Posted January 18, 2008 Members Report Posted January 18, 2008 That bag is adorable ^_^ and I really like your tooling on the dragon (for both, but particularly the one with the celtic knotwork). Good job! Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 18, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 18, 2008 Excellent job!! Quote

Thanks! Yea, I cheated and used a book pattern for that one, Someday I'll actually do my own celtic, but I am not any good at it yet! Quote
Members wildrose Posted January 18, 2008 Members Report Posted January 18, 2008 For creating your own designs, I highly recommend going to clanbadge.com and ordering the Celtic Knot Font...it's easy and awesome. Quote
howardb Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Thanks! Yea, I cheated and used a book pattern for that one, Someday I'll actually do my own celtic, but I am not any good at it yet! Cheat?? Leathercraft has been built on using someone elses pattern. Cheating would be doing so and saying it's yours. So in that light, where can I get the pattern? I love the dragon and would like to put it on something, though I have NO idea what yet. Both pieces are very nice by the way! Brent Quote
Members Spider Posted January 18, 2008 Members Report Posted January 18, 2008 I like your different. Very nice work Quote
Members Opagon Posted January 18, 2008 Members Report Posted January 18, 2008 They turned out great! Quote
Members Tina Posted January 18, 2008 Members Report Posted January 18, 2008 Me like different too:-) Very nice work...I really like the dragon design and the way you made it. Quote
Froghunter Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 So in that light, where can I get the pattern? Brent This pattern is from one of the books the we sell at Tandy, Appropriately named the "Dragon" book. A smaller version is also in the "Tattoo" book we sell. However, please feel free to copy the picture above and make your own pattern from it if you like! Thanks for all the kind words all! It's means something when just anyone says they like your work, it means even more when craftsmen say it!!! Quote
Ambassador The Major Posted January 21, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 21, 2008 Those pieces are great. Thanks for sharing. Quote
