ETW Grumpy Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Freak, that's really awesome work. I especially like the initials with the "swirly swoopy" things on them. You did a great job on this piece. How do you do the woodgrain? Freehand with a swivel knife I'm guessing. Great looking piece. Quote
Ambassador freak Posted February 1, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted February 1, 2008 Thank you all very much !! indypbear, I've been toying with the idea of moving the pen holder. No real reason for where it is now. At first i was planing on puting a holder on each side. One on top of the other so when the pen is in, it acts as a lock. I've seen it done of others. But,, i've been thinking of moving it to the middle or maybe across the top , above the pad of paper. About the initials , if you look back a few post i posted a link to the font i used. Grumpy, on the woodgrain i just cut lines with the swivel knife , then i go back over them with a molding spoon. I'm still playing with the effect. We need to get Kevin the King to show us how it's really done. KK does some of the nicest and realistic wood grain in leather i've seen. He's threatin to do a tutorial on woodgrain before. I'm ready for it , aren't you ??? Just to pass the time i've added a flask for this one and blondie. I'll be delivering them on Monday. Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start. Check out the freakSHOW

ETW Grumpy Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 I think that a woodgrain tutorial would be a great opportunity to learn at the feet of the King. Hey Kev, how can I join the fan club? Quote
Leather Bum Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Yeah, that's definitely an eye-catching piece there. . . You did a sweet job on it! I really like the clean look with the contrasting colors -- natural background and lace, pleasant tan theme, and a nice highlighting antique. Well-done. Now what exactly was your procedure for antiquing it? L'Bum Quote

TomSwede Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 How come I've missed this!!! This is freaking awsome!! I just love it, all of it but even though that frontmotif is so beautiful I 've gotta say that the lettering on the back is to die for. I'm absolutely stunned, this thread go down my favourites for inspirational use for sure!
