Members kawboiplc Posted January 26, 2017 Members Report 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.

bikermutt07 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 If you are talking about lifting in the carving sense look up using a petal lifter. George Hurst from Tandy has a nice little video on YouTube. It's a way of cutting into the flesh and lifting it away from the surface to add depth to the piece. Good luck.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Moderator immiketoo Posted January 27, 2017 Moderator Report Posted January 27, 2017 This is an example of lifting. The areas where the leaf looks like its coming off the leather are done by separating the leather using a lifter. In this case a pro lifter by Ed Labarre. Quote Learnleather.com
