particle Report post Posted October 10, 2012 No less "real leatherwork" than a "real photographer" using a digital camera! Looks nice - good work! Do you own your own laser? I've been eyeing them a bit lately, but dang - they're expensive!! A few people here have posted some awesome stuff they've lasered - wallets, bags, etc. Heck, I did a journal cover a couple/few months back that I drew on with a permanent marker, and colored with artists markers. Sold it on Etsy for $70 with a $4.95 B&N journal inside! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studio-N Report post Posted October 10, 2012 Hello. I've had mine for 11 years. Had a lot of fun with it. Etsy is one of my favorite places. I've sold a few things on there. Might give these a try. Thanks again for the kind words. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted October 10, 2012 My biggest critique is the thread in your sewing is way too small. It drew my eye in as soon as I looked at it. I like the laser work. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluesman1951 Report post Posted October 10, 2012 I like the laser work and have considered exploring that path myself . I am stuck on the thread I use Bz-415 Nylon White Bonded TR-350 from Texas threads . For me there is just no other for hand sewing . Hand sewing is fun I enjoy it ,takes a bunch of time so I am not willing to use any thread that dont come out the way I expect it to . I am not going to voice a opinion on your thread ,thats not my place . In the end beauty is in the eye of the beholder . Its well done cleanly excuted and will give years of good service . I expect it will age well and after some time in and out of the pocket it will acquire a nice patina . Well done . Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studio-N Report post Posted October 10, 2012 Not my sewing on this one. This is a commercialy made wallet. I am just using it to engrave on. That's why I didn't call it real leatherwork, just an engraving example. Thanks for looking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishful Report post Posted October 11, 2012 OK, so what did you use to do the engraving? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studio-N Report post Posted October 11, 2012 I have a 45 watt Co2 laser from Universal Laser systems (ULS). First a finish is applied to protect it from smoke damage, lasered and then hilighter is applied. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
