Michael Sheldon Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 And how do you sharpen your petal lifter? By stropping them? Pretty much just like you sharpen a knife, progressively finer grit stones, then strop to a mirror finish. Quote Michael Sheldon Desert Raven Leather
Ambassador The Major Posted September 11, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted September 11, 2007 You know Clay, I have always been amazed at your lifted leaves. Personally, I think yours blow Jeff's away.

Contributing Member ClayB Posted September 12, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted September 12, 2007 You know Clay, I have always been amazed at your lifted leaves. Personally, I think yours blow Jeff's away. I don't know what to say to that. Thanks Shawn. I have step by step pictures of carving an oak leaf the way I do them someplace. I'll have to try and get them posted on here sometime. Clay Quote ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website
Ambassador pete Posted September 12, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted September 12, 2007 Clay- the close-ups look really neat. Did you use a hair blade on the leaves or is that the lines from a vertical thumbprint/pear shader? Guess I've never looked at MY leaves under a magnifying glass! pete Quote
