SKETCHAVEMBER - Week 4

It was a sporadic week of sketching due to Thanksgiving and just being too plain tired and/or lazy to push myself to do anything but play video games after work.

Can I make this sketching every night a monthly habit? I'm going to try my best! This was very fun and really pushed me to funnel all the ideas bouncing around in my head before the inspiration grows cold.

Nov 20th - The High Priestess card design from last week. Including her again as reference for the actual leather cards that followed this week.

Nov 22nd - "Winged Priestess" Art Card in Leather - Very last minute design for Tandy Leather's art card contest! It was extremely difficult to try to shove detail like this design into a 2.5x3.5 inch card! The left is the card without dye while the card on the right has been dyed with 'Brown Fudge' Ecoflo dye. The finished version can be seen here:

Nov 28th - "The Mask of Saint Lucia" - Continuing my fascination with the tradition of Saint Lucia by pondering on a leather mask design for her. The candles would be only slightly dimensional in leather with the rest of the design in metallic antique bronze finish except for the leaves and candles, which would be made to mimic their actual textures. With gold Celtic knot accents.

Nov 29th - Knotwork study for the knots on the Lucia mask.
