BearMan Posted August 27, 2012 Report 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 Ed the"BearMan" polarb1717@aol.com Beary: BearMauls@yahoo.com http://tinyurl.com/BearMauls "The Best tooling mauls available today!"

Members Cyberthrasher Posted August 27, 2012 Members Report 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 hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms
BearMan Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report 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!
