Stuck on biker wallet

Recommended Posts

Well, I've started it...  I know I want to feature a raven, moon, and some branches, so, that's in the middle of the front.  Now I just have to figure out what I want to add in to fill the rest of the empty space on the front.  The back will probably be basketweaving...  Open to suggestions...  I thought vinework tying into the branches, but, not sure the two go together real well...

There's nothing wrong with just leaving it empty.  Sometime simple is better and IMO adding more tooling around your image will just distract from it.

What I suggest, is go ahead and tool the main image. I often find that after I get started , everything falls into place. You get a "feel "for what it needs as you go along.

I hope this helps, have fun tooling, and be sure to send pics when done!:thumbsup:

Great idea.  Sometimes, I will get out some of my stamps and start making marks on scrap leather and find a unique pattern between 2 or more of the stamps and take off with it.  Also, explore YT for border stamping.

Snap :thumbsup:  I just doodle on some scrap  leather and go for what ever feels right , or I just make up my own  unique pattern . That can take forever as I can be a bit indecisive...a bit like a 'crafters block'  :blush:   YT is also a handy tool .

Whatever you do, we're sure it'll look pretty good.  Will it be antique dye ?

Finally finished a couple months ago, and been too busy to post.  Finally got 'round to it, and here's the final result.  I like it, but, I need to work on figure carving to get more details and rounded shape to the bird
