Konnie Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 I made this book cover in a workshop. The motive was not cut with a swivel knife, but only worked with a modeling tool. All work, from cutting of the leather to the coloring should be done in 2 days. I must admit that I have been working in my hotel room until late into the night on the outside seam. Workshops are not good for me. I'm always too slow and was often not done with my work. The Celtic theme is not my favorite, it was given to us. Advice for the future I will want to read. Thank you for your interest. Konnie Quote

Moderator immiketoo Posted October 3, 2012 Moderator Report Posted October 3, 2012 That is a worthwhile project! It looks great. Where in Bavaria are you? Quote
Konnie Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks for the feedback. So I'm looking forward to new projects. Unfortunately I can decide only with difficulty. Too many ideas in my head. immiketoo - here is my answer to your question. I live in Franconia. Exactly half way from Munich to Berlin. Konnie Quote

Konnie Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks for the "Wiener Schmäh", he brought a smile to my face. It was really my first piece. And even worked in Austria. In Schlierbach Monastery. The teacher was the leather artist René Berends. He makes really excellent and also reveals many useful tricks. Also in Munich, he often makes seminars and these are very popular. But enough with the first-thing. Let's focus on the upcoming work that will hopefully come soon. Quote
