Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted June 19, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted June 19, 2011 The KK influence is very obvious, looks like you followed his tutorials quite well. Here's something you need to pay attention to: The IBEW logos/symbols and name/acronym(initials) are at least copyrighted, and possibly trademarked. If you are selling your work, you could see some problems. There's a thread on copyrighted material that's quite long, but worth the read. In a VERY general sense, you can use any image on personal items, but if you are putting someone else's image/logo/brand/etc. on products you sell, you are using material that may require you to have licensing from them. Ex: You could make a tool roll for a motorcycle and put the Harley Davidson logo on it....as long as it's for your use. If you sell it to someone, you're in violation of copyright or trademark laws. Not trying to burst your bubble, or imply that you ARE doing something wrong, because they're very nice wallets....but you need to be aware of it. Here's the thread: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?act=idx Quote
Members matthew91188 Posted June 20, 2011 Members Report Posted June 20, 2011 Hello, I'm pretty new to leather working, but I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on something. What do you do to get the stamping a darker color than the rest of the project? I've seen this on many projects and am just curious how it's done, any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
