Imprint on leather? How did he do that?

[pgraca97]

I am a big fan of this spanish leather artist and recently i was going through some of his older workd and came across this:

Any idea how did he do this kind of "imprint"/"impression" on the leather? thank you so much!

Work is by José Luis Bazán

I would think that is a water-slide decal/transfer

I think fredk nailed it. Seal the leather WELL, apply the decal, seal over it.

I used to do sublimation which I accomplished on white dear leather. I have posted a photo of same before.

Also used a Laser Printer Mono color to make whatever image/text I wanted. You can print on the better quality of laser copy paper

lay it on your leather or whatever you wish to use. With a household iron you can actually transfer the image to the substrate.

No messing with all the other "stuff."

don't forget to reverse the image if doing this method
