Members Texson Posted January 21, 2018 Members Report Posted January 21, 2018 Needed a new mouse pad at work so I made one. I kind of rushed the tooling since it was the first one and I wanted to get a feel for how to build it. I'll take my time on the next one. Quote

bikermutt07 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 The deer looks really good. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
garypl Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Nice job Texson! Please provide details on project - leather type and weight, finish, thread size, etc. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members Carson Posted January 22, 2018 Members Report Posted January 22, 2018 Machine or hand sewn? Looks very good, I like the border stamps to be closer together but still very good Quote If you can live, thank god If you can read, thank a teacher If you can read this in English, thank a veteran May God Bless, Carson of C Hangin Diamond Leather and Catte Company
Contributing Member fredk Posted January 22, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted January 22, 2018 The work and technique look grand Just a wee bit of criticism; a pictorial balance thing. The tooling of the deer is spot-on, but for pictorial balance it should be leaping into a space. On this its trying to leap off the pad but hitting a 'fence' - the border edge pattern. In pictorial balance things/people/animals should be moving or looking into a space. On the balance of space in front or behind the subject can give an impression of speed, eg little behind/more in front = fast, same behind/in front = slow or stationary Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

I just used that part. I didn't notice until I looked at the picture that I had over-beveled the neck/back. Like I said, I was rushing this one just to figure it out. Quote

I agree about the border stamps, I was just throwing this one together as an experiment/learning opportunity. I will take my time and do it right on the next one(s). Quote

I was trying to get the leaping off the pad image but hadn't thought about running into the "fence." Definitely something to pay attention to in the future. Quote
