Did you find a stamp? I might be able to help.

I'm making my (very particular) wife a new phone case. She wants it black with her initials stamped in and a flower on it. The flower needs to be in multiple colors. I am planning to use acrylic paint to do the flower. She wants antique on the flower to show the cuts and maybe some antique in the initial stamps to make it show up a bit better. My thought is to carve and paint the flower, stamp the letters, then dye the balance of the case black. I'm unsure about the next steps (tancote, resist, oil, etc).

Tks Jersey. I'll do it that way. By the way, great ID pic. I've owned two Doberman and loved them. Great dogs.

Anyone willing to help, I've just gotten into leather work the last year or so. My question is this: I want to carve a piece, vinegroon it, and then wet mold it. What order do you think I should do these three things? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mike

TwinOaks, sorry I'm responding to this post so late, but just got into leather work the last year or so. My question is this: I want to carve a piece, vinegroon it, and then wet mold it. What order do you think I should do these three things? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mike
