Members kaerkes Posted May 1, 2015 Members Report Posted May 1, 2015 Hi! I'd like to share one piece that kept me hitting the hammer a long time. It was for a tablet case for a friends and these are the main characters of an awesome manga of Hiroaki Samura, called Blade of the inmortal. I am not used to carve such detailed patterns so it was really challenging to me. Hope you like it and as allways all critiques are well recieved. Quote Our blog: kaerkes.blogspot.com.es
HARVEY Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 Although the subject isn't my cup of tea, the superior workmanship shows up clearly. I'd like to see more of your work. Quote
Members plowboy73 Posted May 1, 2015 Members Report Posted May 1, 2015 Very cool tooling. Not my normal either but very well done! Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted May 1, 2015 Members Report Posted May 1, 2015 Very impressive. Cool subject matter, too. Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop
Members kaerkes Posted May 1, 2015 Author Members Report Posted May 1, 2015 Thank you for the feedback! You are right, not very common subject, i like to introduce strange references in some of our carving works. Although traditional subjects as sheridan style or celtic and nature patterns are amazing, we cannot ressist to include freak references that we love in special pieces. In this "freak" section we include subjets from mangas, bands, movies, books or artists that we love. We are going to post more of this material soon. Have a nice weekend!

Members JAZZMAN Posted May 1, 2015 Members Report Posted May 1, 2015 Right that is it, i have had enough, can people stop posting such incredibly amazing works of art, it is making me feel very inadequate perhaps we could have some pictures of people who do really terrible carving work then i could join in too. This is absolutely amazing, you are a true artisan Quote
Members kaerkes Posted May 1, 2015 Author Members Report Posted May 1, 2015 kjiasjiasjias! You really make me laugh jazzman! You only have to have 2 words in mind: patience and hard work! We have been hammering on leather only 2 years at this moment but lots and lots of hours fixed at the desk. We think like everything in life, practice is the phillosofer stone here. i think everybody can do maginfique things putting passion and perseveration on it. Innate talent is rare, most of us have to improve little by little trough hard-ing-working, and try-error circes.... Thanks for your funny words! Quote Our blog: kaerkes.blogspot.com.es
Members JAZZMAN Posted May 1, 2015 Members Report Posted May 1, 2015 Well thank you kaerkes for your words of encouregment, the truth is i do have every intention of putting in the work and hopefully one day becoming a skilled leathercrafter and tooler, i too believe hard work is the only way to achieve this and am under no illusions about that. I still say that you have done very well in those two short years of study to be achieving this kind of standard of workmanship, thank you for the inspiration and advice, take care my friend. Peace.

Members OdinUK Posted May 3, 2015 Members Report Posted May 3, 2015 Thats a very nice carving, I like it a lot. My critique would be the following, I'd have used a triple loop braid/stitch around the edge. Also I'd bevel and burnish the edge of the flap. The picture is fantastic though Quote Lord Of Leather
