mendedbowl Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 very nice work anne. is the leatherwork finished, or will you be adding color? Quote
Members wildrose Posted September 19, 2008 Members Report Posted September 19, 2008 You've worked long and hard on this one! It sure will look nicer than a plain ol' wood box. Quote
TomSwede Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 This one is looking to be great Anne! Stuff like this should be done slowly and whenever one feels like really up to it so don't stress it! Tom Quote
Members craftsman827 Posted September 19, 2008 Members Report Posted September 19, 2008 VERY NICE ! ! ! I see a little Robert Beard insperation there. I love combining leather & wood. I think they go beautifuly together. Can't wait to see the box finished. PS: is that a Tandy store I see in the background? Quote
Members anne newkold Posted September 20, 2008 Author Members Report Posted September 20, 2008 very nice work anne. is the leatherwork finished, or will you be adding color? The leather was oiled and suntanned and then finished with carnuba cream to seal it. Not brave enough to color it. This was my first attempt at putting together my own pattern. The corner Scrolls are Bob Beards pattern, some of the other elements came from doodle pages like some of the trees, but not all of them and some of the rocks. But the rest was out of my warped mind. I had never covered a box before so I figured I have challenged myself enough with out trying to color it. Quote

The store in the back ground is Standing Bears Trading Post in Reseda, CA. They are a Tandy distributor. Wayne Christensen owns the store and teaches classes there 5 day a week. Wayne has also been a great inspiration and encouragement to me. Quote

Schno Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 I've had the pleasure of seeing these in the flesh, so to say. Fantastic work, Anne! It's great to see a vision come together so well! Quote
Members Kustom Posted September 23, 2008 Members Report Posted September 23, 2008 It's even more amazing in person. I got see it when I was at Standing Bear's last week for my class. Quote
