Work in progress: wild roses

[OldCanuck]

A spray of wild roses on the flap of a new tool pouch. They're more literal than Western Floral style. Each blossom image is taken from photos of wild roses that I took in the Colorado Rockies. That's 7 blossoms, 4 rose hips, 6 rosebuds, and about 70 leaves (ouch).

Part of the leather was still damp from some touch-up work I was doing, and I was impatient to take the photo; hence, the discoloration on one side.

Beautiful work. How many times did you have to step away and let the eyes refocus. I look forward to seeing finished product.

That is a whole lot of tooling!  Nice work!  Kudos for doing your own drawing!
