The Keeper of the well-kept thing: Unite or Die
http://thewellkeptthing.blogspot.com/2011/07/unite-or-die.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. I found this really cool American Revolution piece of propoganda. I appropriated the slogan for a shirt. I cut the stencil and added my own little bit of nonsense - you know, for the 4th of July. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My name is Matthew Taylor Wilson.

My process always starts off with pencils and markers and ends in pixels and file extensions.

The Keeper of the well-kept thing: The 4th of July - making things
http://thewellkeptthing.blogspot.com/2011/07/4th-of-july-making-things.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. The 4th of July - making things. I had a really great 4th of July. I spent a lot of time with the fam. I made some stuff and took a nap (or two). Here are a few photos from the weekend's activities. The first detail is a little anchor stamp that my father-in-law got me for my birthday. It's become my 'brand' for leather working. It's a fun little detail. I oiled and polished a few bracelets and leather cuffs that I'd been working on - and hung them on a chair to air out. The 4th of...

The Keeper of the well-kept thing: Short Trick Braid
http://thewellkeptthing.blogspot.com/2011/06/short-trick-braid.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. This bracelet was a result of me just looking for another way to do things. It's just a short braid. I cut three small slits in the center of the piece of leather and braided those. The effect is more of decoration - and seems a bit more substantial than my normal fully braided leather bracelet.

The Keeper of the well-kept thing: June 2011
http://thewellkeptthing.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. I ran across this little pocket sized book of Trig Functions in my father-in-laws roll around (I was looking for his rivet gun to use on a leather project.). I thought it was pretty cool looking. The Faithful Anchor - freezer paper stencil. 1 Draw design on freezer paper. 2 Cut out design - be sure to hang onto the counter forms or negative spaces of the letters because those CAN be ironed back into place. Leather Cuff - "looking boss". This is a leather cuff I made for myself&#...

Tuesday, July 5, 2011. How to Mystery Braid a Leather Cuff. My wife found this tutorial. And sent it to me. So I'm posting it here becaust in all honesty Martha Stewart and her peeps can explain this much better than I can. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
