Fun seeing how each step builds on the last.

Is this a standard pattern for you that you've tooled before?

I generally send photos of each step of the process as they happen to my clients. Ive had some really great feedback from this. And I think it helps the customer appreciate all the work that goes into a particular piece.

 

No this is actually the first time I've built this purse. And the first time tooling this particular pattern, but I have tooled several floral patterns by the maker that created it.

So the pattern that my client chose has a spot left blank for intials or a brand, neither of which he wanted.

 

This is the original...

And this is after I modified it...

I'm waiting for approval of the line art before I put it on leather.

Thank you... I wish weilding a swivel knife was as easy as weilding a pencil, Especially the erasing part... Lol there are several cuts in that that if I could have moved them just a little bit I would have.

An this piece has ALOT of swivel knife work. By far the largest single floral piece I've ever done.
