Jimbob Report post Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks ya all...sometimes I have to lay down the leather tools and grab a brush or a pencil....then I push my inner button and take off to foreign lands of fantasy and artistry....I draw and then draw some more, paint and latly I do pinstripe everything I get my hands on......When I finally come back to myself...to my senses says my wife...haha...then I just lay down my pencil and da brush and go back at it at the leather bench.....Or I grab a mopp and do the floors, then do the dishes and later make the beds....BUT that's another story...heheheee.. And yeah, there are many good images to get fine ideas from!! Glad ya all liked it. James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horrrk Report post Posted November 5, 2012 and latly I do pinstripe everything I get my hands on...... James Yeah James..I got some striping brushes a year or two ago and finally tried them this year, before I came across leatherwork, but I found the tip of the brush too remote from my fingers, if you know what I mean.. Woodcarving is direct, leatherwork is direct too..you're linked to the end of the tool more.. I think practice is what was lacking and I may come back to it eventually..its just not as intuitive for me..LOL Regards Phil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
