Thank you, and I'll have to keep my eye out for old fire hoses. I'll definitely give the canvas a try in the meantime. As for my molds, I'll add a pic of them. For the larger section I end up using a slightly larger diameter and a little wider pocket as well. Edit: After I put the molds into the leather I use a vacuum bag to help mold them and let them dry a little.

I've been tinkering with modeling basket weave into my prints and I wanted to share what I've managed and see if anyone else had had any luck. Hopefully this is the right category. First is my favorite, the entire stamp was 3d printed with the basket weave background being one of my most recent designs that I think has worked. Next is one I did as a one off for a friend, it uses one of my first patterns. Which I used to make a card sleave for his wife. I did some testing with an arch style. And just recently I'm working on a fairly ambitious idea that is far from being complete. As a note, all of these have been printed in resin. I find it can do the small detail a lot better.

Wanted to share the progress from first prototype, to the first one I'm fairly happy with. The first one was more than a bit rough, and was made using my first attempt at making a mold. The rest were made with one I modeled and 3d printed and turned out a lot better in my opinion. Still not sure what the best way to finish the edges would be, especially the opening sections. Any feedback is also appreciated, thank you.
