This was my first attempt with a 3d printed stamp. Worked great!
How did you do the shading? I've never done leatherwork.
I went over the stamp with blue sharpie and wet the leather with water and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. When you compress the stamp into the leather with a press the alcohol reactivates the ink in the recesses.
I've made a couple of stamps (my maker's mark and an icosahedron (d20), mostly for accents on a project I was working on at the time), but nothing this ambitious. I can't get over how nice the texturing came out; well done!
