I am very sorry, but, unfortunately, shooting a video is definitely not the case in which I at least succeeded. My "ceiling" is to make a series of photos and animate them (as the first post of the topic heading). As soon as the camera turns on, I begin to twitch and make mistakes (a purely psychological effect).

@chuck123wapati @wizard of tragacanth Thank you!

Thank you, @Rhale! Many thanks, Tom! Thank you, @Bert51! Many thanks, @Scoutmom103! Thank you, Jeff! Thank you for compliment, @battlemunky! :) Thank you! I use PA003, PA004, PA005 stamps (manufacturer Hide Crafter, USA). To avoid repeating the pattern, I rotate them at a random angle and in a different direction after each hit. Plus, I try not to put stamp along a straight line, but in an arc and slightly randomly. Thank you, Brian!

Several projects at the main work practically did not leave time for my favorite hobby. But still finished the work on the bifold wallet with lion. Carving and embossing using a leather inserts. Cover - veg tan leather 4 oz, inside - veg tan leather 2 oz. Spirit dyes.

Thank you so much for this comment and for those that you left to a few more of my works! @JLSleather Jeff, thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you for compliments!

I used spirit-based wood stain before and use it in some projects now. It works pretty well. The only thing - unlike spirit dyes for the leather, which I mainly use now, stain (at least the one that is available to me) does not contain additives to protect against UV. Therefore, some of my old projects are slightly "tanned".

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Thank you, Tom! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you, @Scoutmom103!

Thank you, Mike!

Thank you, Jeff! In addition to hair, I had to seriously to work on ears - after all, a lioness’s ear rises 3/4 inches above the mane of a lion.

Thank you for idea! Recently, a lot of things have piled up ... But still, I managed to devote time to my hobby and finish coloring this work.

If you are sure that the recipient of the gift does not have an allergic reaction to latex, you can try a water-based adhesive with synthetic latex - ECOSAR MW116 NG (manufacturer KENDA FARBEN, Italy). http://www.kendafarben.it/note-tecniche/NTinglese/Ecosar MW 116 NG-en.pdf

Thank you, @bullmoosepaddles! I apologize - I did not notice your comment earlier and only now reacted.
