These are tooled GTF cases that we do for GTF Designs and
IndyQShop. All these cases were done with 6oz veg tan
cowhide.
This
lineup of hand tooled GTF cases represents a direction we have been
going in with our tooling for most of 2011. We wanted to explore what
Paul Burnett calls Creative Stamping. Essentially with creative
stamping you use the common stamping tools in uncommon ways to create
visually rich and complex patterns. The variety is endless and the
negative space can be used in combination with coloring to create
wildly different looks.
The
methods we use to achieve this level of precision are slow and
meticulous. One slip of the concentration and the entire piece is
ruined. Make an impression in the wrong spot and there is not any
possible way to recover from it due to how the leather must be marked
to place the tools when stamping.
The end result though is an amazing pattern done with no guidelines scribed into the leather. Thank you for looking.
