Pteryges

Here's my little take on some Pteryges.

Still deciding on a buckle or lace up fastener, otherwise they're pretty much done.

Really need a picture of them ON someone though.

Very sharp, Magnus. And yes, they'll really come to life when worn.

Magnus,
What are you using for green dye I have some of the yellow box not going to butcher then spelling until I go get the box to type it in here but I ended up with a hospital scrub shade of green rather then the nice emerald you have there.

Magnus,

Nice color combo too, that's sharp looking

I used the new Ecoflo Forest Green from Tandy Leather.

Some of those Fiebings greens come out wierd. But the Ecoflo I must say was a huge pain in the butt to get to set nicely, took a lot of coats, I even added a bit of fiebings to it to try and convince it to darken up.

When I used the Eco it just stayed on the top maybe I will run a few coats and go from there just to try it out thanks Magnus

OR

Try wetting the leather first.

Did you finish this? Was it an order? If so how much, out of curiousity?

Magnus Ulfgarsson · Post by **Magnus Ulfgarsson** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 6:51 pm

I did indeed finish it, it just needed a buckle and belt tongue attached to it.

I charged $350 for it.
