kawboiplc Report post Posted January 26, 2017 Hello all. I'm new to the site & forum. Thanks for accepting. I've been reading and seeing a lot of crafters on various media sites talking about lifting. Can someone explain this technique please. I have to admit the work is beautiful & has my ears perked.

It's a way of cutting into the flesh and lifting it away from the surface to add depth to the piece. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
