Members Klara Posted August 8, 2021 Members Report Posted August 8, 2021 Normally I'm not a fan of flowers, but these are beautiful! Great, amazing work! Quote
Members Tugadude Posted August 8, 2021 Members Report Posted August 8, 2021 Funny, I was going to say the same thing Klara said. I'm not a big fan of flowers either, and a lot of tooling I can take or leave. But then there are examples like this that make me go Hmmmmm. It is very well executed. I'm not an expert, but I would think it very difficult to improve on it. Congratulations! Quote
MikeRock Posted August 9, 2021 Report Posted August 9, 2021 You can almost feel the wind blowing the flower blossoms....... Quote

Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 10, 2021 Members Report Posted August 10, 2021 I am curious to know how you got the very dark background in the journal cover. Did you treat the whole piece with antique, or did you just paint the background with dye, using a small brush? I never seem to be able to get such good contrast using antique, even if I use several coats of resist on my carving! Quote

Members Leescustomleather Posted August 13, 2021 Members Report Posted August 13, 2021 I have been doing leather carving for many years and have studied countless examples of other artists work and yours is the best I have ever seen. The precision , composition and attention to detail are amazing. Thank you for sharing. Quote
Members Minnesota Posted August 13, 2021 Members Report Posted August 13, 2021 I don't have the patience to tool leather. That is an absolutely amazing piece of art. Quote

Do you lay out the diamonds first or the central image first then lay in the diamond pattern around it? Quote
