Members YinTx Posted February 20, 2020 Members Report Posted February 20, 2020 Just finished up this little surprise gift for a friend of ours. Thought I'd share. Slowly but surely getting better at sketching my own designs. And tooling tiny items...

Still trying to improve my wreckerative cuts tho... Here's a very up close with a pencil for scale, before all the dye, resist, antique and finish work. I didn't have a shader small enough for the flower petals, so I struggled a bit with the modeling spoon. But the end result is passable, I think.

Members DJole Posted February 20, 2020 Members Report Posted February 20, 2020 I really like the curvy outline to the design that doesn't follow the rectangular contours of the case itself. That's a really good design! Quote \D. Jole \ --> <http://djole.altervista.org/djole/Publications/Leather/Lindex.htm>

That's a really good design! I appreciate that. I saw something similar somewhere else, so I did my own kind of version of it. Bit of a gamble, but paid out ok I think. 1 hour ago, battlemunky said: Looks great Yin! You are getting good at this sir! Thank you, I try to get a bit better every time...

Members Outfitr Posted February 21, 2020 Members Report Posted February 21, 2020 Really nice work. How is it attached to the cover? Upper right, is that just a fancy S or is it something else? I've been struggling with small carvings lately. I need some smaller petal lifters. I struggle with cutting the small curves on the petal tops. Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted February 21, 2020 Members Report Posted February 21, 2020 Very nice work. Quote
