Created the debossing stamp from medium clear acrylic. I find running 2 passes of engraving gives a good depth. Will probably need to play around with focus to get background smoother.
Cut thick proofgrade leather patch. Dampened leather and clamped between two pieces of wood.
Next, I did a light wiping with Fiebing’s Light Brown Pro Dye. Again, an experiment as I’ve been trying out different color dyes and have found a lot of the browns to be too dark. This color is a nice addition. Plus, I like the way light wiping left the recessed areas contrasting. Of course, could go heavier with dye to get to these areas.
Finally, I tried Fiebing’s Medium Brown Antique Finish Paste. First time using this so still learning.
