TomSwede Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 I sometimes complain about only get to make bracers and this one is a surprisegift so I got free hands totally with it but she said along time ago she'd like a raven bracer from me so raven bracer it is. Strong symbolics in this one too but very subtile and I won't explain it either but the motif is very well thought through. Bracer is female version of my archer bracer pattern posted in appropriate section and will mount on right arm, the raven is faced so that it is turned towards body and not flying away from it. Something I picked up from tattooartists. I let one of the sunbeams pass out over the border, not sure this was the right decision but it's done now anyway. The colour of the sun is just that same old orange mix that I posted as "fun with orange" in dyes section. Painted it on in several layers until I got the tone i wanted, eveningsun. Sealed with two coats of leathersheen and then antiqued with Tandys old mahogany. Critics welcome!
