In between teaching a few private workshop, I have been working on the last panel, for my first set of leather book covers. The first one, a ginkgo leaf came out well and gave it to a friend who just loved it, how could I not. Then I did the palmette panel followed by another ginko leaf and now I have finished the leaves cover. The design was supposed to be bamboo but it look more like a lotus to me - but what it is, is up to you.
I started this panel about a 3 weeks ago and I just finished it. Next I have to cut the leather and dye it; rivet the panel to the front and then sew on the end flaps. This I will do next week week. But until then, here are the process pictures, mostly of the final chasing.
