Creation Of The Briefcase ‘Forest Story’

ADVERTISEMENT

For those who are interested, I would like to show how we created the briefcase with hedgehogs.

Embossing on the cover is made on the vegetable tanned leather. The cover is also decorated with four corded braiding.

RELATED:

    Firstly we sketch the design we want

    Then we moisten the leather using a sponge or spray

    To trace the sketch to the leather we use a press tool

    Then the image is cut along the outline with swivel knife

    Now it’s time to start the process of embossing

    This is how the finished embossment looks like

    We used Fiebings leather dyes to paint the image

    After applying primary colors, the image was covered with protector and rubbed with antique gel

    The briefcase is ready to be assembled, the only thing is left – the braiding

    After doing the braiding, we applied acrylic paint and varnished the image and that’s it!

    I took leather craft in school. But we never learned anything this SPECTACULAR! And we did it all from scratch too. You deserve a lot of credit for a job well done Alex

    Would it be possible to have both sides painted? Any good-taste Panda would like a briefcase like this!!! Would it be possible to use a lighter skin? Do you have any idea of the price of such beauty? Anyway, congrats. As many as possible. You are a very talented Panda????????????

    Thanks a lot for your kind words! What do you mean by both sides painted? Do you want the embossed image on the both sides of the briefcase? Speaking about the lighter skin - do you want the leather lighter in weight or lighter in color? Any options are discussable.
