Pyrographed sheath and patches(pic heavy)

[firecrest]

G4ghb sent me a sheath to have a mess about with. Sorry for the poor quality but `somebody` cleaned the hard drive and I dont have photoshop at the moment.

I couldnt decide on a design so I effectively did two - one on the front and one on the back just to see what kind of thing worked. Both seem to be popular!

And here is some leather patches I did.

Good lord! :Wow: you did that with a glorified soldering iron??!! :You_Rock_

Amazing work - I'm sure this one's watching me :

 

[hiho]

brilliant, really like the first one

I've just seen the sheath at the Midlands meet and I can tell you it's even more stunning in real life than the picture. You just can't see in the picture all the extremely fine detail that there is in both sides.

Lindsey, you've got such a superb talent and I bet you'll be having more commissions than you can keep up with in next to no time. Better get my order in asap

Again I saw this at the Midlands Meet, the pictures do not do this work justice.

Are you up for trades?

I can see a lot of wrk opening up for sheaths like those! The celtic one is gorgeous - the birds and animals are just superb. Best of all I've never seen others like them. How about a possibles pouch too?

That's just paranoia, mate.. Isn't it..

Beautiful work, Firecrest. You really can capture those creature's spirit and liveliness in those drawings. That's real talent. :You_Rock_

 

[Mesquite]

Just a thought Lindsey.... you really need to get an account on British Blades and show off that sheath. I'm pretty sure you'll get a few more enquiries from there

 

[firecrest]

Thanks guys.
Thats a good idea mesquite.

Are you up for trades?

Yes Im up for trades, depending on my needs

Absolutely beautiful work.

Can you work from photographs or does the inspiration come from within?

 

[firecrest]

The peregrine was composed of three different photographs only I realised half way that the bird had a wing missing so I had to draw that memory. I can work from memory but I prefer not to because Ill usually do something inaccurate.

Finding the words to describe your work isn't easy. Fantastic, beautiful, awesome are still not enough.
Let's just say that if I had a chance to go on holiday were I was guaranteed to get a good suntan, I'd come and stand behind you.

The sun shines out your ar$e Lindsey!
