Horrrk Report post Posted September 11, 2012 Latest off the bench! (Finally) WOW.!! I reckon you need to change your profile from this though.. 'Leatherwork Specialty:Newbie - just learning' lol I know it's not in critique, but the lack of oak leaves is distracting..haha! But seriously, that's got to have taken some patience and a steady hand.. Fantastic job Crystal.. Regards Phil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbob Report post Posted September 12, 2012 Nice work, super nice carving, extra super-duper airbrushing...A-plus!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina Report post Posted September 12, 2012 I'm a fan, Great work The overall look is awsome but I love the small details. Instead of just seeds inside the flover there's...more flowers:-) I also love the extra leathercord along the strap and you really succeeded with the overall color schemes.

Wishful Report post Posted September 12, 2012 yes, very nice. So, did you use an airbrush or? I like the finish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete Report post Posted September 12, 2012 Latest off the bench! (Finally) Crystal, that is really gorgeous. You need to send a picture of it to Tandy and let them use it as the finished photo for the market bag (I think that is what it's called). I have made 2 over the years- but that "AFTER" shot will sell a lot more for them when people can see what is possible. pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crystal Report post Posted September 12, 2012 Thank you so very much, everyone! I appreciate all the feedback! No airbrushing! Just brush. I do have an airbrush- it's in a box somewhere but I haven't a clue where or even how to use it when I do find it again. Thanks, Pete- but I don't think I am ready for that kind of "prime time" yet. Hmmm, Tina. I think I learned that detail thing from my favorite Swede! Again- thanks, everyone! Crystal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGGUNDOCTOR Report post Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Great job on the bag. Th ecoloring really makes this for me. I have a couple of these kits that I picked up from someone who was getting out of leatherworking. Been trying to figure out what to do with them, now I have some inspiration. Any details on the type of dyes used. This is seriously a very nice bag, you should send pictures to Tandy, or someone here may do it for you.

GrampaJoel Report post Posted September 14, 2012 Ya know, I blew this beautiful bag up real big on my computer screen to look at the incredible amount of details, I looked at every line, and cut, and I thought I found a flaw,,,,, but alas, I was mistaken. Absolutely beautiful work! You did an excellent job! Joel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherlockian100 Report post Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Very nicely done!I particularly like the attention to detail in the strap. Edited September 15, 2012 by sherlockian100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LNLeather Report post Posted September 15, 2012 Your leatherwork is perfection... It's all eye candy! First your backgrounding really caught my attention - it's even on the fine way you finished the strap. And your braiding is just soooo good! Then all the details in the flower - You Are Soooo Talented! I also agree with those that suggested sending your pictures to Tandy... If they used your picture that would be Good advertising for them And Good advertising for you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
