Basket Weave Stamping

Step 6

 

Here we see the finished project.  Notice how the camoflauge stamps seem to perfectly space around the edge of the project.  This WILL NOT always happen that way and, in fact, did not here.  I mentioned on the previous slide that corners are where you can make up this imbalance.  You do that by rotating the camolfauge tool a bit, i.e. make multiple stamps, on each side of the gap until they come together.

 

I prefer lining up the edge of the next stamp with the previous stamp.  Some leather workers prefer lining up each stamp next to each other with a slight gap between them.  

 

I used a very basic camolfauge stamp here.  Know that there are many different types and sizes available.
