TomSwede Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Yeah, that demo really got me going for a take on a raven feather. First try, did have some troubles keping the lines with the hariblade but I think it came out ok. I was surprised how fast it was to make. I just went through the demosteps and dyed it black. No stiffener yet. Thank you Johanna and Jim for putting this one up.

Members CitizenKate Posted November 13, 2008 Members Report Posted November 13, 2008 You're a fast learner, Tom! That turned out pretty cool, especially for your first try. And yeah, the internet has brought the continents a little closer together, hasn't it? Kate Quote

Members CitizenKate Posted November 13, 2008 Members Report Posted November 13, 2008 As in, a leather mask with feathers? Kate Quote
TomSwede Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Posted November 13, 2008 Hey thanks you too!! Well the feather felt just like the kind of fun you can have with the leather and that's a great mood to be in when you wanna learn. I think it came out ok so very happy with it. Now what Kate said is really cool about a mask and feather combo. Go for it Roo. I'm gunna have to focus on customers now and bring in some money. I'm really in a bad situation moneywise.

Members elktracks Posted November 13, 2008 Members Report Posted November 13, 2008 Tom, Great job on the feather! When I have done black feathers, I have used a product I get at an art supply store called interference blue. It is a powder that when mixed with an acrylic finish like Satin Shene and painted over your black feather, gives it that hint of blue, just like a real raven's feather does when caught in the right light. If you have access to such a thing, give it a try. I'll bet you'll like what it does. Jim L. Quote
ArtS Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Tom you're a feather weight! LOL. Great job. I've been wanting to try one too. Art Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." – Galileo Galilei

I really want to get that bluish shine to it because it may land upon a true raven lover (just like me) so I really would like that realism. Hope I can get it. Swedish market is a bit limited compared to US. Maybe Tina knows something about this. Tom you're a feather weight! LOL. Great job. I've been wanting to try one too.Art Thank you Art!
