Members Scoutmom103 Posted November 5, 2018 Members Report Posted November 5, 2018 Very nice roses. They look very lifelike. Quote
Members Willb2862 Posted November 5, 2018 Members Report Posted November 5, 2018 That is amazing! Very inspiring for a newbie to see where, with practice and patience, you can go with this craft! Thank you for the inspiration! Quote

Good picture! I'm with ya -- embossing doesn't go EVERYwhere.. some products should stay slim. But this pic SHOULD BE a good illustration of the effect of tooling in the leather, what with the consistent burnish of the design in the BACK SIDE of the tooling leather, showing the use of moisture content. That's the English (ish) version. Translated to Russian below: Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Members battlemunky Posted November 5, 2018 Members Report Posted November 5, 2018 You did a beautiful thing with the coloring too AB. Your carving work is great but the coloring on/inside the bud is incredible and the greens on both types of leaves is killer. Quote

I am also most pleased with how the leaves turned out. I have long hesitated with the choice for this work - acrylic paint or alcohol dye. In the end, I decided to dwell on the dye, as it gave a half-transparent and slightly muffled picture. It seemed to me that overly bright and rich colors would make the wallet too flashy and gaudy.

Natural tones, understated, not GAUDY like some "painted" leather you might find. And your use of multiple shades gives it a natural feel. Did I already say I like it ?

Members LeatherPlusArtGalore Posted November 6, 2018 Members Report Posted November 6, 2018 I really like the wallet. You did an amazing job. Quote
ABHandmade Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Posted November 15, 2018 After finishing, I got what I wanted - yellowing hop leaves and close to real color of roses. Women's wallet "Autumn roses". Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted November 15, 2018 Members Report Posted November 15, 2018 The rose is gorgeous. Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 15, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Subtle tones and stylish layout. You prove again that "observation is 9/10 of the law" I like the finished product even better than I already liked the carving.

Members IrisLH Posted November 21, 2018 Members Report Posted November 21, 2018 Those finished products look grand! They are amazing. I like them both and I love how you shaped the 'clip' (for lack of a better word) and incorporated that into the tooling pattern. Really really well done! Looks very professional! Quote
Members bdpeters Posted November 21, 2018 Members Report Posted November 21, 2018 wow the color on that really pops out at you., great job. Quote
