Members Tina Posted December 8, 2008 Members Report Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) This one just jumped from my workbench...Geezzz, I wish there was something I could do to make the braiding go quicker, I'm just to impatience I guess Anyways, this notebook cover is around 11"x6" in size. As usually I use the spirit dyes and ontop is some High-Lite. Edited December 8, 2008 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members Kowboyboots Posted December 8, 2008 Members Report Posted December 8, 2008 Beautiful! What did you use for the braiding? Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted December 8, 2008 Members Report Posted December 8, 2008 Gorgeous, Tina! Did you use Angelus dyes on this project, too? How does it hold up to light exposure? Kate Quote

Members Tina Posted December 9, 2008 Author Members Report Posted December 9, 2008 Oh, I LOVE that swivel cut peacock! I mean, it's all gorgeous, but the peacock is awesome. Did you freehand that?Hi all,Now I can finally answer the questions...My hard drive said thanks and good by and now I'm up and running again.The pecock is not freehand, The back piece have one too and I needed them to be the same. This bird is from A Stohlmans book about inverted carvings.Beautiful!What did you use for the braiding?Hi, I used the calf lacing from Tandy, "Superior lace" I'm not sure I like it at all, it's a bit to thick, stiff and fragile for my taste.Gorgeous, Tina! Did you use Angelus dyes on this project, too? How does it hold up to light exposure?KateHi Kate and Great Thanks:-)I have not done a propper suntest on the dyes, maybe I should? Pieces I dyed a year ago looks the same but then, I can not say I have had them laying in the sun either.Really nice Tina, great carving!Thanks, Soo sweet of you:-)Wow! R-e-a-l-l-y nice. I really like your use of color and design. And that swivel knife work inside is great.

TomSwede Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Ohh lovely design on the front/back. I really like the border design with flower and beaautiful name logo. Someone mentioned the peacock and I can just agree, it is sooo good looking.
