DaveJohnson Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Great work on the wallets and the bag - the actual tooling looks smooth and well defined and the contrast with the background shows it off nicely. Just some comments - the background could be pushed down more to create a flat background - maybe you are not stricking the tool hard enough, or the leather is too wet when you do the background, so it rises up again as it dries. Also getting the dye running around to the flesh side makes it look not so goood on the inside. I found two ways to help with this 1) is to stick clear plastic self-adhesive film to the back while tooling and dying - this stops the streaching when tooling and stops dye creeping around the edge to the flesh side or 2) line the inside after dying and before assembling and cover the dye. Like the wallet / purse design - keep it up and thanks for sharing Cheers Dave Quote
