I'd say look in the show off section and see what catches your eye that you want to try. If already made art piece do another. Stamping and carving are an art in themselves. When they are done well and look good.lol Same with dye. The leather you have is perfect for stamping and carving. What to stamp or carve would be only something for you to decide. Thats all I got.
