BearMan Report post Posted August 27, 2012 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" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyberthrasher Report post Posted August 27, 2012 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!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearMan Report post Posted August 27, 2012 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
