howardb Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Drivin' me nuts. Whips out a" little nothing", complete with a 3D spiderweb across it. I think you're bucking for "teacher's pet"!! Fine work Ms. C. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Don't worry about the teacher, I think he's happy you turned in anything at all. Good thing you took the class pass/fail though... PSST! Spitwads at 2:15, pass it on... Brent [Oh and I DO intend to turn in homework this month too!] No rules, right? This looks more like a bad slasher movie victim, but I just don't have the usual 4 weeks it takes me to try to do something. So in a manic 4 hour rush - this is more of a "thought in process". Didn't even try to make it a finished piece. Just kind of wanted to play around with the idea. ** photo link snipped ** I am going to fail this semester - no homework done at all last month - incomplete homework this month - threatening the substitute teacher with paper missiles.... not looking good for me, is it?

And you won't even have to babysit any of my friends at an IFoLG show. (Poor Brent - I am just glad he was happy with the album, I didn't have enough cash on me to cover the "pain and suffering". It was my fault - I neglected to tell her not to fidget, stay in her seat and to use her church voice while in class. He handled it like a trooper. But I am not sure she is allowed back.)

When they find out I didn't do it, they are less impressed with me! ..but they still like the album. ... Moved from the front row, right out the door...I promise to send something to you, Clay.

Crystal ...allowed?? Holy skiving knives batman! She's INVITED back!! You two are more fun than the proverbial barrel o' monkeys!! OK, back on topic. Here is my rendition of the skull pattern.

carr52 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Well heres my stab at it. I used two different background tools for the eyes just to see which I liked best. I think I like the one on the left the best. Now that I see it on the screen I can see that I should have done something to the lower jaws. Kind of a water stained funky looking peice of leather but it gives it character. Sorta pirate sorta thingy. I think I am starting to talk more like "Doctor-Who" every day. Oh well, time moves on. Unless your a Time Lord. Tom

Unless your a Time Lord. Tom Got it done. I like it. I used calf skin lace so I decided to punch holes instead of using the chisel to make the slits. The calf skin doesn't enjoy being pulled through tight places. It streches alot. Now i just need to find some one who wants a skull checkbook cover to give it to. Tom
carr52 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Forgot to add a pic of the interior. Black and orange, it is Holloween you know. Tom
Colman Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Here is my take on this months challenge. I doubled up and gave both patterns a try in one shot. I did have a malfunction with the background tool, maybe I need to a smaller backgrounder or stronger cheaters This is my first skull/s Johnny Endeavor to perceiver.
Contributing Member ClayB Posted October 30, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 30, 2008 Thanks Tom and Johnny for playing. Tom, your checkbook cover turned out really nice. I like it that you experimented with different background tools. I did that too and think I finally did the inside of the eyes with a smooth pear shader to mush it down without so much texture. There are so many different ways to do these things and it's fun to see what everyone decides to try. The color on yours turned out nice too. Johnny, I really like the idea of combining both patterns. The floral really seems to compliment the skulls, how weird is that???? I like the way you had the vines enter and exit the skulls, really ties it together. ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website
