Fiddling with some leather tooling

Post by theowl »

Figured I'd make a dunedain star. It makes a fine fibula/brooch. It woukd be a nice hair accessory if I had any. I carved the stick from some cocobolo, and it really ties the whole thing together, literally. Image

Nice work :P
Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.
Aragorn: It's the beards.

Oh fun!
What if anything did you use for the background texture on the leather?

Also... what is that wool it's lying on? The stansborough weave?

I used a few different background stamps and kind of layered them to create the pebbled look.
