TRALINLER workshop 

Nice guitar strap 

For guitar fans, you've come to the right place!

This month we're featuring a guitar strap, sculpted and hand-dyed by the Tralinler workshop.

Here's a glimpse of the work they've done: everything is handmade ( strap, half-moon and die-cutting), and the embossing is classically done with a matoir for the trunks, while the details of the branches are done with a stylus.

For the dye, the red-orange color is applied with aqueous bases in multi-layer work for the gradation, followed by a good polish to bring out the light-colored hollows on the redwood.

black parts are treated with a vinegar-iron acetate (rust)-oak gall mixture. Pykara is well-suited to this kind of mix, and can be used to make gray, woody and deep black .
