used a stencil

[Peter Ellis]

Here's a piece I've almost finished, that started with a stencil from the local art supply store.

Makes for a different effect than the more traditional approaches. I'm thinking I kind of like it.

I used a ball stylus to trace the stencil onto the leather, tooled it simply, antiqued it and then dyed over the antique.

And yes, I oopsed with the stitch groover on the border.. sigh...
