The Leather Nativity Panel
This is the panel in its first stages. I have cut the design into the leather with my swivel knife. | |
After the tooling is finished, the panel looks like this. I love the folds on Mary's dress! | |
Here is some dye and paint work. Here are the dyes: 1) Fiebing USMC black for the night sky; |
|
And here is the final stage, with all the dye work done. 1) Angelus green for Joseph's robe; I left the visible skin the natural leather color. These folks wouldn't be pasty Caucasian white. |

Here's the image of the woodcut which I modified. Woodcut works so well as a source for leather art!
