Members aguilerag Posted May 30, 2013 Members Report Posted May 30, 2013 Hello everyone. Just wanted to post a couple pics of new wallets I have done. Thanks for all the advice and tips everyone has given me. I believe they have helped me improve. Hope you like them!! Gabriel Quote
Members mappy306 Posted May 30, 2013 Members Report Posted May 30, 2013 That looks really good. Hope I can get my projects looking that good soon. Great job! Quote
Members aguilerag Posted May 30, 2013 Author Members Report Posted May 30, 2013 Thank you very much. Quote
Boriqua Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Just Beautiful! I love the way the Aztec drawing breaks the stitch line. How did you do the darks on the Native American piece. I couldnt tell if it was silhouette or paint. Awesome work Quote
Members aguilerag Posted May 31, 2013 Author Members Report Posted May 31, 2013 Thank you boriqua. The Aztec warrior piece was silhouette done by beveling the inside then using a background tool. Then I used the dark cocoa stain that came in the deluxe beginner kit and went over the silhouette to make it stand out more. Quote
Members Murray Posted June 3, 2013 Members Report Posted June 3, 2013 Sweet work Ag. the warrior piece is my fave. Quote
Members aguilerag Posted June 5, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 5, 2013 Thanks Murray. That seems to be everyone's favorite. I have sold 11 of them so far lol. Quote
Members Murray Posted June 5, 2013 Members Report Posted June 5, 2013 DANG!! Congrats on that. Its such a cool design, I see why its popular. Fantastic work Bro. Quote
Members aguilerag Posted June 5, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 5, 2013 Thank you very much. I made a series of Aztec things for cinco de mayo and did pretty good overall. That damn Aztec warrior, which was the hardest one came out better than I hoped for. Maybe I can get a stamp made that big to save me some time lmao!!! Quote
Members Murray Posted June 5, 2013 Members Report Posted June 5, 2013 I had a very similar conversation with my wife... I have been making wallets with the USN anchor on them - the chain detail kills me. I told her I was thinking of getting a stamp made, she quickly rebuked me and said 'people like them because they are "hand carved", anyone can use a stamp. So I guess this is a word of encouragement - keep doing it the "Hard Way", that's what makes your wallets special. Quote
Members Antwene Posted June 28, 2013 Members Report Posted June 28, 2013 The Aztec Warrior is amazing. I tend to prefer it veg tan. The complexity of the pattern makes you think about what you see the firt time and it's cool. Add deepness to the art great work Quote
