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 reddish-orange color is achieved with aqueous bases in multi-layer work for the gradation, followed by a good buffing to bring out the light-colored hollows on the redwood.
black areas are treated with a mixture of vinegar, iron acetate (rust)and oak gall. Pykara is well-suited to this kind of mix, and can be used to make gray, woody and deep black .
