Members rschreck Posted November 23, 2012 Members Report Posted November 23, 2012 Specifically the border of the leaf? Quote
Chief31794 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Posted November 23, 2012 These come in different sizes, a small one was probably used to fit under the leaf lifts and then he remainder was pebbled using the bigger one. At least that's the way I would do it. Chief Quote
Members rschreck Posted November 23, 2012 Author Members Report Posted November 23, 2012 No, I mean how did they get the leather of the leaf to raise like that. Quote
Chief31794 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Posted November 23, 2012 Sorry, They use a lifter, there are a couple of different types, there is a deerfoot lifter which comes as on a stylus handle in two sizes like a modeling tool, but the better way is with a petal lifter, I have two different sizes from Barry King, the are also called "undercut" bevelers at times. The tool is worked under the edge of the petal or leaf and then tilted to raise the edge of the carving. Chief Quote
