The back and cover

  • Left: the pattern is only drawed.
  • Right: the pattern has been cut.

NB: the bottom in the middle is not finished to adjust to the closing later.

Tool the background.

Adding a dragon on the back

Finish the spirals, but do not join them completely.

Select the pattern and ajust it to the right size.

  • Left: too big
  • Right: correct size

Draw it and cut the leather.

Add the relief.

Make the background and start coloring.

Antic Die

Apply the antic finish after covering with Super-Shene

Hole for closing

Cut the area where the metalic piece would pass through. White areas are due to the wax I started to apply to protect the leather.
