Harmony and Life in Leather

By Gordon Andrus

60 pages plus a full size pattern

There are two parts to the challenge that we face when learning

leather tooling. First, a design must be drawn. Secondly, it must be tooled revisar.

In these pages you will find a sculptor’s approach to leather

tooling where the stamps are seen as tools for modeling shapes

in leather — where we see the shapes, not just the stamp impressions.

We want depth and life in the work. We want to make leaves,

flowers, and scrolls, that flow over, under, and around each other.
