Hi All,
I have been considering getting involved in leather work for a while now, one of those
things I've just not got around to, but I think it's about time...
I have a few very simple questions :
How do you get freehand design into the leather?
Is it just a case of stenciling on the design, wetting the leather and then going over
the lines with a stylus and mallet ?
Is it better/easier to carve ?
Do you do your dyeing before or after ?
Thanks,
Steve.
