Birthday Present

[BearMan]

Hi Everybody,

Here is a wallet I made for my wife's birthday. I finished it about a week ago, but waited to post it so that she wouldn't see it. It's a bit different from what I've been doing lately. This is the first thing I've laced in about 20 years. I'm surprised I remembered how to do it,,, hehehe All the colors are done with Angelus Spirit dyes. Each color is done using 2,3 or even 4 different dilutions. Thanks for looking,,, Ed the"BearMan"

Cheers,

Very nice Ed. I have troubles with 1 or 2 dilutions of color. I still can't imagine doing that many different shades without giving it all up for good!!

[BearMan]

Thanks Everybody,,, I try,, Sometimes you have to really work work work to get a project done,,, this one was the other way. Once I started on it, it only took about 2 1/2 days,,, maybe 14 hours total. Thanks for all the wonderful comments! Ed

Love, Love, Love your work...

Someone said "a garden" and I think that's a very accurate description...I love the vibrant colors and your tooling is as ever flawless

[BearMan]

Thanks Everybody!! Tina & Dallyguy hit it right on the head!! I've been going for a more natural ,,, somewhat,,,,more realistic design.

Thanks,, Ed
