I'm very new to leather working, so forgive my silly questions (we all learned at some point, right?)
I want to make some well detailed human face shapes in a light leather. I'm making the reverse and standard mold using plaster of paris and clay, after which I want to mold the leather onto this form and make it harden and stay that way.
What kind of leather would the forum recommend as the best kind of molding leather to get some really good definition. I don't want the faces to look cartoony, the idea is to make them look as realistic (and ultimately eerie) as possible so I can sew a collection of them together.
Any ideas and tips are really appreciated, thanks in advance for helping a new-comer.
