Contributing Member Crystal Posted September 8, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 8, 2008 Hi All! Finally made this into something. I was stuck - couldn't figure out how to fix the gold flaking problem I had and ended up just mixing some paint to match the antique and painted all the darn flakes. Before Fix: I think I will change out the white paper for black paper. Thanks for looking! Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather

Crystal Those are the only good looking bug bites I've ever seen I got a shoulder like that once (internet order), and although it was some really UGLY leather, the stuff I made from it had lots of "character" Quote

Wish they would list sale hides with a number scale as to how much charater they have. At least it was useful for something! Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather

ArtS Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Great job Crystal. I really like the style and the colors. ArtS Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." – Galileo Galilei
TomSwede Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Very beautiful Crystal! Doggie looks very nice and realistic. I am familiar with that goldflake problem. Sometimes it has helped me to go over my work with a slightly damp rag after the colours are dry and just brush it off with the rag.
