Members Tina Posted November 13, 2012 Members Report Posted November 13, 2012 I'ts Peter's work for sure :-) Have you ever been to his website? If not, i's a treat: http://petermain.com/ It was when I found this website I started with leatherwork so I know what you mean by "I want to be able to do it HELP ME!!!!" I know another member here, ClayB has a wonderful website with some tutorial about extreme embossing, I suggest you go and have a look and I'm sure you can ask him questions to :-) http://badlandsleatherart.com/ Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members benlilly1 Posted November 13, 2012 Members Report Posted November 13, 2012 I have 2 of Peter's books. The Main Technique of Coloring Leather is what you need to read! Quote
Members macdaddytoolin Posted November 13, 2012 Author Members Report Posted November 13, 2012 I just want to know did he emboss the girl then cut her out and appliqued to the background and is her arm also appliqued across her body I know he must have airbrushed the background and the girl but i wanna know about her arm because I can't see where he attched it to her body did he skive it so it would flow from her shoulder??

Members benlilly1 Posted November 13, 2012 Members Report Posted November 13, 2012 There's a section on applique work in Peter Main's book Australian Leather Carving. Quote
Members macdaddytoolin Posted November 14, 2012 Author Members Report Posted November 14, 2012 where do I order peters book at? Quote
Members Tina Posted November 14, 2012 Members Report Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) It seams you can order it directly from Peter (?) On the top of his webpage there's a link "puplications" and in there is an email address to him. I think Peter might be a member here too and another member Rawhide seams to have close contact with him :-) Edited November 14, 2012 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
