Tandy iPhone App Add Us Right and Wrong - Figure and Floral By Christine Stanley Only a casual glance is needed to notice the difference in the right and wrong carving; however, let’s make some specific comparisons to demonstrate what is wrong with the wrong and right with the right. Pay particular attention to the “wrong” carving of the horse at the bottom. First you notice the legs are much too thin for correct proportion. This can be caused by careless tracing (a mistake you can’t make if you use a Craftaid templete) or more commonly, it will result from the swivel knife cut being slightly on the inside of the tracing line. Compare with the “right” figure at the top where the cut was made along the outside of the tracing line just barely close enough to include the line in the edge of the cut. In the “wrong” figure the beveling is choppy rather than having been walked along smoothly with an even striking force. Even the most careful beveling will require the use of a modeler to finish it correctly. The smooth effect of the modeler can be seen in the figure at the top. The mane and tail demand flowing lines rather than straight lines and these are also made with the modeler. The matting tool, like the beveler, must be walked smoothly along with the same even striking force. By combining tools number 822 and 902 for grass, you will get the effect pictured with the “right” figure. The “wrong” floral emphasizes the improper use of the tools and failure to follow the pattern. When a portion of the pattern is left out, such as the stem of the flower at the top, the design become senseless. The smooth backgrounding in the “right” is achieved by smooth even striking force on the background tool. Decorative cuts should be made in one smooth motion of the swivel knife. The beveler should be used with care so that no part of the design in pushed down when it should stand out. The decorative tools should never be allowed to lap over onto a part of the design where they are not intended. Maintaining proper moisture content is important both for easy use of the tools and to get the correct shading in the leather when using bevelers. Keep all border lines straight and square. TIPS: Keep a piece of scrap leather cased, and handy; when in doubt about what effect a certain tool might give, try it on the scrap leather first and visualize how it will affect your design. Cement your project to a stiff piece of cardboard with rubber cement to prevent stretching the leather out of shape when working with the stamping tools.
