I was so mad I had to miss the copper stamping class. I will definitely sign up and attend next time it’s offered!

Made vinyl decals of each of my dogs to decorate my car. Traced the images from photos and cut them on the Silhouette Cameo. Yes, I have five dogs and no, I’m not crazy. Much. LOL.

Many thanks to @so_creative for teaching the Leather Midori Bookcover class and for geneously making herself available for several hours to help her students in a work session on Friday.
I’ve done leather tooling, but this was my first attempt at a landscape. I could not have done it without her guidance.
The tooling is done: coloring and conversion to a bookcover is next week.

According to abana: drawing/tapering, cutting/punching, bending, twisting, upsetting, joinery, and welding.
Basically what @jast said, a little different but not much.

So you did not weld anything, what did you upset??
The ball-end and to a greater extent the rivet plate. It was upset then drawn sideways, rather than split and bent out.
Well done. you raised the copper as well?
