New Belt Design by Armadilloman with process shots

I have created a new belt design for the Armadillo Leather shop.

I am always looking for different textures and surfaces to use in my hand textured leather. For this belt I use a half rotted stump out in my yard.

Leather is dampened and then hammered onto the surface of the stump.

I have done this hammered onto a stump treatment to a belt strip that I then color with a HiLite stain.

The excess stain is taken off the high areas of the leather with a damp paper towel, leaving the stain in the depressions.

Finish the edges, stain the back and apply a coat of clear acrylic and you have a belt.

Each belt is unique with an embossed design taken directly from nature.

Find this belt an many more in the ArmadilloLeather Shop on Etsy.
