Sherr Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am making a new doll that is an 18th century explorer. Sometime ago I remember seeing a tutorial for a "spyglass". Does anyone know where that might have been? I suppose I could wing it but it's always good to see how it's been done before :yes: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi Sherr, it might be found in the tut section: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/i...mp;#entry323292 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Is there another word that may have been used to mean "spyglass", that you could enter in the search bar? I'm not having any luck finding it either. It may have just been discussed in a post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 The tutorial is for a telescope, but could easily be adapted to a 'spyglass'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherr Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think that tutorial will help alot. Thanks Tracy and Deana. Sue at the time I was having a brain cell problem and all i could think of was spyglass. Middle aged woman here! :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Let us know how it turns out. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherr Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Will do Corwin. Almost done with it. I ended up turning it on the lathe and gilding it. Now all I need is leather look paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Beige masking tape rubbed with shoe wax takes on the appearance of leather, it'd look good for a spyglass. Whatcha using for the brass fittings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debra Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 pin1056 Linda made a gorgeous telescope you can find it in her gallery in her Beacon Hill. Cheers Debra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatcha using for the brass fittings? Oh man, that was what I needed a day ago. I shoulda waited for your post. I ended up buying a peice of brown textured paper. Next time I will do masking tape. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
