Grey Drakkon Report post Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Been a long time since I was last here. I had been wanting to get back to working with leather again, and Tandy's leather trading card contest was enough to give me the kick needed. This is my first leather trading card, it's 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" on 2-3 oz vegetable tanned leather. I did a little bit of tooling and stamping. It's painted with very watered down acrylics. I made some stamping errors (pounded too hard on the right hand seaweed's background) and I'm not entirely pleased with the colors, but I'm much happier with them than I was before I put the black outline around it. In retrospect, I probably should have used a very dark brown instead of black. Still, not too shabby for a fiddly little thing.

leatherquestions Report post Posted August 13, 2014 Good work. I could never do something that small, much less the intricate work within those lines. Tip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Drakkon Report post Posted August 13, 2014 I just realized I didn't cut around the edges of anything. That would explain why it was so hard to get foreground and background pushed away from each other. >_< Next one will be much better. Thanks for the compliment! I'm used to working small so it didn't bother me too much. Just needed decent lighting and properly sized tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
