Members CitizenKate Posted October 7, 2008 Members Report Posted October 7, 2008 Very nice work! I'm curious to know how you did the white coloring for the card backgrounds. It looks exceptionally smooth. Kate Quote
Members trastu Posted October 7, 2008 Members Report Posted October 7, 2008 your job very nice, thank you for the pattern. a greeting Quote
Members Tina Posted October 7, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 7, 2008 Thanks all Guys and gals:-) Kate. I use a mixed white leather acryllic paint (mixed in a hint of ochre). I think the trick is to make several thinn layers ontop of each other rather than 1 or 2 thicker layers and a better type brush will also help you along. Just make sure the layers of paint is allowed to dry in between. Hope this helps you:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.

Members Tina Posted October 8, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 8, 2008 Hi Tina! So nice to have gotten the chance to meet you and the hubby! I was going to ask you at the show - but forgot - what kind of lace did you use and do you color your own? Thanks! Crystal I agree, it was really nice meeting you too:-) The lace (which I love) I bought from Ebay, a very old stock from some New York companny that doesnt excist anymore, or I can not find it on the net...If you want the name 'knock' cuz I'm to lacy to run upstairs right now. When it came it was quite fragile but after using some nice products on there they came out great...Thinner but yet stronger than the calf lace you'll find today. So, when this stock is gone...it's gone Yeah I did dye the lace. The background color I used on the holster (Angelus "Blue Jean" spirit dye) I just tossed some lace into the bottle for a while and when dry had some neetfoot oil to get it into the right "mood" again It kind'a works. Hope this helps some:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.
