Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 28, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 28, 2008 Here's the remake of the piece I killed (mentioned in '..Dyes..') The body of the dog doesn't have much tooling for musculature, but it is fully embossed. The right side of the dog is higher than the left, and the head is pushed out even more. The dog is totally white, except a few blotches on her muzzle. That presents a slight hurdle since I wanted to keep a natural leather look. Interestingly enough, Eco Super Sheen and Resolene have a slightly different tone when dry. I used the SS on the dog, and the Resolene on the background. It's hard to see in the photos ('cause I don't have a lightbox or a good camera) but the head is raised about 3/16" above the background. Also included is the source pic, for comparison Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

TomSwede Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 You sure got the expression on that dogs face down real good and that does it for me. I like it alot!

Contributing Member ClayB Posted January 28, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 28, 2008 Hey Mike, You did a really nice job on the dog, especially capturing the facial expression. I find straight on faces hard to do, but you got it. It really looks like she got caught doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing. Thanks for sharing the pictures and glad there wasn't a boo boo on this one. Quote ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website
Contributing Member Regis Posted January 28, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 28, 2008 Mike, You sure nailed the face really well. I thought you said you just started recently. Nice work. Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 31, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted January 31, 2008 Sorry for the delayed response...I just got home. Thanks everyone for your comments. Regis, I did just start. Infact, the very first piece I carved was back in Nov. of '07. The real issue for me is finding time to beat on the leather. The pieces I've posted are really the only pieces I've done- the posted dog pic in this thread is number 9 (number 8 is hanging out to remind me about being careful).
