Members MonicaJacobson Posted January 27, 2015 Members Report Posted January 27, 2015 Well... Mine is as done as it's going to get this month, though I wouldn't say it's *finished*, exactly. I should have resolened the inside - I did Aussie it, but I guess that wasn't enough protection - I got black smears all over it. Darn it. So. I'm considering sunbursting the inside with the airbrush my husband bought yesterday. Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop
rawcustom Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Wow! Way to set the bar on carving Monica! The contrasting white thread is a great touch. Quote
Members Wraith Posted January 27, 2015 Members Report Posted January 27, 2015 Wow, Monica that is amazing!! What did you use to block the Dragon? I can't get mine to block that well. Brian Quote Brian https://www.facebook.com/LeatherAndPens
Members MonicaJacobson Posted January 28, 2015 Members Report Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks guys! I'd never tried a sunburst before, so that was fun. Brian, I used only one coat of resolene (with a paintbrush over just the dragon), and actually went over it afterwards and shaded it with yellow and a light coat of red. I don't actually have any resist, but if I were serious about resisting, I would do 2-3 coats of resolene, I guess. If I understood what you were asking..

Members Wraith Posted January 28, 2015 Members Report Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks Monica. That was what I was asking about. I'll have to give that a try and see how it works. Brian Quote Brian https://www.facebook.com/LeatherAndPens

I did something similar as one of my first carvings but it is nowhere near as amazing as that. Did you stamp the scales or are they all hand cut? The dye work is fantastic. Overall I love it!

Members Charliewz Posted January 28, 2015 Members Report Posted January 28, 2015 Not much, but got it done. Only 3 oz. I had was some faux print that has been laying around here a long time. Quote
Members takitty007 Posted January 28, 2015 Members Report Posted January 28, 2015 This was my first wallet, it was a lot of fun to make. Thank you! Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted January 28, 2015 Members Report Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks, Chris and Tom - I cut them individually - it took a long time. I'm not sure how often I'd do it. Charlie, the croc print looks classy on the inside of yours. Takitty, you're pictures are too small, we can't see the details at all.
