Moderator Johanna Posted July 22, 2006 Moderator Report Posted July 22, 2006 Floral Carving examples: The first two are pics of Jeff Mosby's work The third is Jim Jackson's. The fourth is 2-shews'. I've been packratting pictures, and I've saved a lot of the very best leatherwork I've seen. I am going to ask Jeff Mosby for permission to post some of his work in a separate thread. Check out his website and be sure to look at the inlay work he does. Wow! Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
hidepounder Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Wow.....I don't know why I'm only just finding this old post now...but I'm impressed. I am very familiar with Jeff Mosby's and Jim Jackson"s work, they are both great artisits....but I've got to say that I am completely humbled by 2-shews work! That is one of the most impressive compositions I've ever seen. I wish we could get a closer look at the tooling, but I can see enough to know that this is an incredible piece! WOW!!!! Work like this really inspires me to improve! Thanks Johanna for posting that and leaving it on long enough for me to eventually find it!!!! Bob Quote

Work like this really inspires me to improve! I remember when 2-Shews first posted his photo of that piece. I believe it was around late 2003 to early 2004. I lost the original posting I had of it. Correct me if I recall wrongly, but I believe he said that was his first attempt at Sheridan-style floral carving. Anyway, I've got a TON of images he posted of his work on another list I subscribed to between mid-2004 to mid-2005. I'm sure everyone would LOVE to see it. Any way to contact him for his permission to post it? Kate Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted February 11, 2009 Author Moderator Report Posted February 11, 2009 Remember this? You have permission, Kate. He told me to share his pics however I see fit. He always wanted to share his love of leatherwork with everyone. Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain

Billy P Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Hey Chester, don't feel bad. Most of the rest of us are light years away from being able to do what Billy and Peter and some of the other greats we could name are/can do. If you ask any of them how to get as good as they are, just about always the same answer PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, LOL do they all have to say the same thing?
