Forum Member G.T. Smith. Portrait In Leather.
Yesterday I discovered the art of Pyrography. In this case burning "drawings" into leather. I just realized I had the tool and solicited here for a couple candidates to practice on. G.T. Smith sent a picture and I gave it a shot. Like I told him, it's very dificult capturing the personality of someone I never met, which is crucial to getting it right. I really like the end result as drawings go, but don't know if it looks like him just from going by a photo.Here it is along with a little dessert scene I did to loosen up and get used to it. And on the bottom my first try doodling with the burner when i discovered it. Keep in mind this is burnt leather and no ink. This tool really shades good. but you have to be careful. I'm thinking of drawing stuff on holsters. We'll see.

Well I for one like it!
Would be great to have a holster that matched the grips on a 1911. Or just the outline of the pistol, like a see thru.
Thanks for sharing.

I really like the portrait, and I'm a portrait photographer.
I think it would be cool to have a portrait of my favorite dog put on the holster of my favorite 44.
Nice work.

The bar stool idea is very interesting. Thanks for showing them.
