Friends and Makers - I’ve always been a believer that it is just as important to show the failures as well as the successes so that beginners can understand that even the most experienced makers foul up and that it is ok to do so just so long as you learn from it. This is my swing and a miss. I make leather embossing stamps using 3d models. The limitations are that the max depth can’t really exceed 0.125" (1/8) for the stamping. Beyond that it takes more on the order of a 20 ton press to try and get that much stretch out of the leather. The 2nd limitation is also trying to maintain the details as you flatten the model. The details in this didn’t work so other than the 3 hours I won’t get back I’m just moving on to the next thing. My tag line is always “create everyday”. they are not always gems but the important thing is to try. Cheers!
