Ok here is my first try with tooling leather. Please give me some insight.

Hi and welcome to the forum Pat. Nice work on the skull, you did a very nice job using the colors to show shadow. I'm sure it'll draw some more comments from some of the skull afficianados.

My kind of guy, skull afficionado;-)

Looks really cool, like twinoaks mention, with that black shading and the white lines to accent contours. I just recently tried that technique for a little flyfisherguy motif. It's a silhouette type motif so I used gold to accent the contours where the sun comes down and light up the outline of his back and the line flying away to meet a name inscription in gold. Neat stuff.

Is it possible for you to get that pic in better quality?

Oh BTW don't expect to see many skulls from me, I mostly do what others order from but I was challenged to make an Iron Maiden Eddie head the other day so so...I want to make a belt with it but currently loaded with work so we'll see.

Welcome to the forum Pat, you will fit right in here as we have a big "Skull" fan club here. Personally I think they are WAY COOL. Thanks for sharing your work with us, and hope to see more soon.
