undeberg Report post Posted October 3, 2013 I'm getting ready to start on a hope chest inlay, thought I'd throw this up to see if anyone had any suggestions before I start cutting into the leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted October 3, 2013 The name seems to get lost. Are you going to use some dye to highlight the name? If not, I would try to open the design up around the name a little bit. Not very much though else it will look like something is missing. You've done a lot of very good work on the design. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
undeberg Report post Posted October 3, 2013 Yes, I'll be using a dye to make the name stand out, as well as a beaded border around the edges of the name. I'm thinking a black for the beaded border and then a dark brown for the interior of the letters. The rest of the background will be natural skirting leather. Thanks!
