bobocat Report post Posted August 10, 2008 I use the picture of Alphonse Maria Mucha that is Art Nouveau to cratf the leather. I use the method of mine to craft it. do you like the feeling of effect. It is also used the dye of baso-dyestuff for the work. It is -dyestuff on the black part. bobocat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClayB Report post Posted August 10, 2008 I agree with everyone else, this really is a nice piece of art. You did a great job on the carving and the coloring. I intend to spend some time studying how you carved the features of the face because it really looks perfect. I also really like the subtle color you used. It brings out all the detail without covering it up. I am glad you are here sharing your work on the forum, and look forward to seeing more of it.
