Here are a couple of notes about the coloring and finishing on this project: 1) After completing the carving and before applying any color, Jim applied a coat of Tandy Block Finish #22014 to create a consistent surface for color application. 2) For coloring, use acrylic craft paints and start at the foreground and work to the background, going from lighter tones to darker tones. Use our Red Sable Hair Brushes #3441-03. 3) The picture was finished with an acrylic matte spray to avoid smearing or beading which might happen with a rub on finish. | |||

| Floral Billfold Pattern by Al Stohlman | |||
|
This free pattern is an oldie from the 1960's by Al Stohlman.
Al used the following Craftool Stamps: to create this design: B198, B936, F898, F900, F976, H907, P234, P368, S632, S705, S706, S932, U853 and V462. After the tooling was completed, Al removed the background areas (called filigree) and glued a piece of suede behind the tooling. To filigree the design, he used a craft knife and round drive punches. It's pretty intricate work. Of course, you don't have to do the filigree work to create this pattern. Just use Craftool stamps A104-2 and A104 to background the filigree areas. If you like this pattern, Al Stohlman's Top 20 book #66038-00 has 19 more wonderful patterns for men's and ladies billfolds. Plus, it has three styles of traceable alphabet patterns with instructions on how to weave them into a tooling pattern, instructions on how to filigree a pattern, how to hand sew and double loop stitch and more. It's a great book! |
