leatheroo Report post Posted June 9, 2014 Hi all Here is a small document folder that i have just finished. The original drawing was used with permission by the owner, Desiree Kerns at http://www.greyscalestudios.com I started by using this method http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=54298&hl=transfers, to transfer the image to the leather. I used photoshop to convert the image to mostly line drawing. I left some of the shading in to help with the painting. Here you can see the image is now carved, using the transfer as a guide. Next i painted the pegasus with a mix of black, gold, copper, etc. Mostly acrylics mixed with black dye. The shiny paint makes for difficult photos and different lights cast different colors. Inside the folder Finished Document folder. Cheers thanks for looking caroline Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colt W Knight Report post Posted June 9, 2014 Nice tooling and color. What is the stitching on the left side for? Did you make the front and back covers separate pieces of leather? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatheroo Report post Posted June 9, 2014 hi colt, yep the stitching on the left joins the two sides together. i was originally going to lace the left side, but cut to much leather off when trimming!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
