Leather bookmark





Introduction

This is just a simple bookmark.

I did not record all the steps, however this is just a simple piece of carved leather with a hole in it, nothing very complex to reproduce.

The length is 16cm, width is 3.5cm, and thickness 2.5mm.

Step by Step

General viking knot pattern:

Next, add the hole (4mm diameter, but this depends on your drawing)

Zoom on the carved pattern.

Dying:

  • brown: Eco-flo Watershtein light brown,
  • Eco-flo supershene on knot pattern
  • Black acrylic inside the knot pattern
  • Eco-flo Antic finish han
  • Fiebing black edge kote

Edges:

  • Before

  • After

Final result:

Burnished back: as for edge burnishing, but for a plane surface. It gives a very nice finish, as for the top (very smooth touch).
