Your tooling is rich. I really admire it. Transparency sheets can be glued to the flesh side of your carved piece. This should protect the photograph from direct exposure to the leather.

Thanks t! I like the transparency sheet idea. I wound up getting this framed and now have glass behind the leather.

Country could you post a picture of what you've done. I'm a little confused, what you carved is a picture frame, the heart cuts out for a picture to fit in. Are you saying you got the frame framed?

Actually it seems to be more like a mat, which fits into a frame, than a stand alone frame. I could be mistaken though.

This could be a stand alone frame if a backing was put on. I wound up using this the same way a mat would be used in a standard frame.

Thanks Troy! After sending this to the local frame shop I stumbled across a video on Tandy's leather craft library site. It shows how to make a leather backing. I like the framing though and the one I'm working on now will be framed as well. Be sure to share one of yours when you can. Happy tooling!
