A bit of seasonal leather.

[Bardster]

I was bored so thought I'd do a bit of leather carving, what do you think?
Carved leather

[Bardster]

about 4 hours for the carving/stamping.

Very, very nice - prefer the uncoloured one, myself, but lovely work. What are you going to do with it?

no idea to be honest - just put it up as a decoration i suppose - or give it away as a present.

 

[Shewie]

Very nice Bardster

SWMBO just asked me why I can't make nice things like that

 

[PaulSanderson]

Whoever got that as a present would be incredibly lucky. That is beautiful work.

[Buckshot]

Very nice Paul
You inspired me to pick up a stamp and hit some leather rather than just sew it. I still have the little piece of leather with a flower pattern stamped on from a moot a few years ago
Another inspiring piece

Hmm this is good, i reckon it calls for the creation of a tutorial on the carving/stamping of leather!

Go on..you know you want to

It would be very usefull actually as lots of people are interested but dont quite get it - myself included!

 

[g4ghb]

What she said!

seconded.....

 

[Bardster]

Cheers for the comments foks
I'll think about an article/tutorial. The problem lies in the fact that it does require some specialist tools, though I can think of a few work arounds....

 

[g4ghb]

If you weren't so far away I'd offer my services as a specialist tool (to hold a camera) for you mate!
