Members Waranafella Posted January 1, 2018 Members Report Posted January 1, 2018 Looks good. Was the lettering done by hand? It is challenging to do lettering that small and remain readable, good job. Quote

It is challenging to do lettering that small and remain readable, good job. Sort of when I have to do lettering (which gawd how I hate!) I select a print type that I like from word, print it out, adjust the size a bit if needed, trace it on to the leather then either use a stylis or modelling spoon to get the depth right Quote
