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.
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!
