Members benlilly1 Posted August 25, 2013 Members Report Posted August 25, 2013 Raised letter with raised corners and carved design. It's in a shadowbox type frame so you'll see dimension. Now it's dye time...what to use? Any suggestions? I cringe when I think of colors so it might get earth tones. Just not sure because when it's dyed, it's final!! Quote
Members Antwene Posted August 26, 2013 Members Report Posted August 26, 2013 Wow great ! My suggestion is : the big W and the color in black, use block out or super shine in multiple layer on the vine pattern (and on the black) et use a Hi-lite color like briar Brown or fudge on every thing. Quote
Members Razz Posted August 26, 2013 Members Report Posted August 26, 2013 Nicely done. Quote If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
Members sherlockian100 Posted August 27, 2013 Members Report Posted August 27, 2013 Very nice, what a great wedding gift. I'll leave the dyeing to you. Dyeing that far into a project, scares the bejeezers out of me everytime. The thought of something not going right after all that work. Whew....I always cringe. Good luck, your friends will love it.

Members benlilly1 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Members Report Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks everyone!! Most important to me is that I want it to be recognizable as leather. So I'll probably go light with accent color. I'll post a finished photo. Quote
Members Lavendara Posted August 28, 2013 Members Report Posted August 28, 2013 That is beautiful! It will be a very lovely wedding gift. I agree with not adding colors. The earth tones would look wonderful with it. Quote
Members humperdingle Posted August 28, 2013 Members Report Posted August 28, 2013 I'd keep it as natural as possible. As the wedding matures, so will the beautiful colours. Quote
Members WScott Posted August 28, 2013 Members Report Posted August 28, 2013 It is really well done, perfect in fact just like it is Quote
