11/02/15- Okay so today I made a pattern for the back of the belt onto tracing paper which I then transferred to the leather. I also cut the pattern in with a swivel knife.

Cut the right side using a swivel knife.

Cut the left side.

Here is the sun section after using a swivel knife to carve in the pattern:

I only had a spare hour so that was it for today.

16-02-15 another day another spare hour. So I began tooling the pattern into the belt today using a beveler stamp.
