Members D2G Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 Hi every... Can someone explain to me how the drawing of the leaves is made, what technique can it be?

Members battlemunky Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 Holy cow, that is super cool and I have no idea how they did it! You are correct, that IS incredible. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 24, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted September 24, 2018 Simple airbrush work, OR these days, you could likely PRINT that directly onto the leather.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) She does boots and shoes, too! http://blog.sina.com.cn/kayired Regardless of how it's done, she obviously has talent! Some closeup views of her work: look at those lovely smooth edges, and even stitching! Do you think they are hand-stitched or machine stitched? http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_557e05900101jt8v.html Second edit: I can see tooling marks around the border of some of the figures on the key wallets. Not the leaves, though. I am thinking those must be printed/silk screened directly on the leather. Third edit: as you get near the bottom of that page, you can see how she has taken traditional Sheridan design elements (scrolls, leaves, seeds) and added her own touches to them! I am VERY impressed with her work! When I opened the page, it asked if I wanted to translate it from Chinese, so I hit the 'translate' button. That means I can now read the comment section at the very bottom where she says she uses French veg tanned leather. She also says the leaves are printed on the leather. (The translation is pretty poor, but you can get the gist of most of it.) On exploring her site some more, I find out (no surprise!) she is an artist, and she has ONLY been doing leather carving for about 8 months!! She also carves wood (see the pea pods, balls, squirrel figure and acorns) and makes decorative wooden boxes. What a talent! Think I'll just slink back into my Neanderthal cave...

Members battlemunky Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 Yeah, with talents like we see on here and out in the other reaches of the interwebs it is hard to even THINK of being good enough to even post something. I do it for the fun and the utility or else I'd have to sell all my tools and take up drinking. Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 Agreed, battlemunky! Quote
Members cradom Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 I love the pea pod zipper pulls/key fobs. Fantastic work. Quote
Members ScoobyNewbie Posted September 25, 2018 Members Report Posted September 25, 2018 No no Sheilajeanne, the Neanderthals need to stick it out. It’s us habilus that should hide, but I ain’t got da skill. Quote
Members D2G Posted September 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted September 25, 2018 Find this page several months ago and browsing through it I will find the blog of the workshop where I take classes to make these leather works. I also think that it is with an airbrush or printer, the truth that after translating from Chinese to Spanish does not come to find out how it did, maybe it is the best kept secret after the formula of coca cola ha ha ha.

Members kiwican Posted September 25, 2018 Members Report Posted September 25, 2018 Good be digital printing. It's amazing to see what can be done now. Quote
