That's beautiful!
WAIT! This was your first?????
fooled me.
Well...I did a butterfly mini composition book cover as a study...but it was just testing the tracing...
This one is the third time doing the "B".
First one was just practice on a piece of scrap leather. The second one became scrap after the leather shrunk too much to be usable...and I wasn't that fond of the color anyway.
So this time I was angry, frustrated and tired of it all when I did it. Which made it come out a bit better. The oil dye I mixed up seemed to have worked well for coloring and softening the leather. Gave it a bit of character and aged look because of the color variations in how the oil was absorbed.
The gold embossed name was my wife's idea somewhat...I used a clothes iron to heat the letters and then use them with the foil to emboss them.
Like I said before...if Sissy doesn't like it she can make one her own self.
Of course my wife is jealous of her sister. She wants a red one for Christmas.
