mtroyalguy Report post Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) I finally completed my project for my boyfriend in art school. A pencil case, a portfolio and blueprint case. My stamping is what is called "handmade" or "rustic" on Etsy. Also known as I need to be more careful, it's uneven. Also my pattern must not have been quite square on the blueprint case, the seam is crooked, twisting the bottom. I can't seem to cut circles well, so the ends are not very round. I also learned Al Stohlman knows best, next time I sew a cylinder I will use the technique in his book. I will also use oil or spirit dye next time, eco-flow scratches too easily. Very much a learning experience. Feel free to critique. Edited February 16, 2014 by mtroyalguy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtroyalguy Report post Posted February 18, 2014 It is just a few coats of the Timber Brown Eco-Flow, with a Neets rub and then Dubbin later. I used a lighter weight for the portfolio and the pattern of the leather is much more visible on it than the other pieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
