Hi All!

This is a wedding present for a cousin and was supposed to have been done last week...oops.

I am almost done- have to put a finish on it and assemble. Seemed like a good day to try to use the lighting outside, so I snapped a pic quick.

The body is dyed Fiebing's chocolate - the inside is an interesting accident of pearlescent light green acrylic and tan gel antique with a dark brown acrylic background.

There are a couple of boo boo's and a thing or two I will pay more attention to next time, but overall, I think it looks okay. Hand stitched 12 spi. Comments and critiques welcome!

Crystal

Crystal,

That is one good looking album cover! :thumbsup:

I really like the synthetic rivets.

Thanks, Hilly! I started this around the first of October. Been sewing for the last week. One of these days I will track hours - I am very slow and can't get large blocks of time to work.Crystal

Crystal, your very talented, love this cover.

Some of you carvers make braiding look like a reef knot, I hate you all.

Doing the right thing is bleeding for the cause.

May I say the feeling is mutual - I can't even decypher braider speak let alone actually make something! Ahh - what is a reef knot? (See what I mean??)
