Leather tooling

Another leather tooling attempt on a coaster this time. Constructive critique please.

thanks

Over all, not bad. Two things I see. First, the color of the square part and your background are too similar. Giving no separation between the two. And second, some of your decorative cuts don't meld with the flow of the design elements. I have trouble with that sometimes myself, so it really stands out to me.

Thanks. Clarification point, the background is the same color as the square, it was part of the design.

Fade things.  Like the cuts, and the beveling and the mules foot stamp.  Also, may try a smaller mules foot stamp for this.  I usually only use the seeder for the floral stem, not the leaves, helps differentiate.  Overall, just keep on practicing!

I think more use of a beveler to add depth and definition (dimension?) would help this piece. Between the flower petals, and on either side of the [vine] lengths.

 

I'm seeing unnatural angles, especially around the edges where the Vine veers out of the circle, in an otherwise round and fluid piece that really stand out.

Ok, Thanks
