Lovely! What do you use to undercut the leaves?

Thanks!  Petal lifter from Ed LaBarre.  He sells a set of four sizes.  This was the smallest of them.

Another beautiful batch Mike!

Looks great, as always.  I've been wondering, though, how do you get the texturing like on the blue one?

A question I get a lot.  I experimented with a variety of materials with texture until I found one I liked and went with it.  I encourage you to try the same.  When you start looking at things for the texture they apply, nearly everything becomes a leather tool.

Cool ... thanks!   I was thinking it looked like it might be a window screen or piece of canvas.

You’re actually not far off.  I tried both of those!  Eventually, I found a piece of plastic from an old CD box that I liked.  The rest is history

These are just beautiful.  Perfect execution from the tooling to the forming, stitching and the edges.  

 

Sorry if I missed it, but did you ever explain what you use for the weight itself?

Thank you!  No I never did.
