Hot off my workbench, the latest Stinkin' Badge!
It always begins with a consultation. My client sends me inspiration art, and tells me the text, colors, and motifs they want to see come alive on their custom leather badge.
I cut the vegtan cowhide, bevel the frame, and punch the holes with a pricking iron. Meanwhile, I prepare a vellum drawing to trace onto the blank using a stylus.
Next, I use my swivel knife and stamping tools to bring the design into relief.
Once the design is fully carved, I apply Eco-Flo Professional Waterstains (leather acrylics) with a fine brush. It takes many coats, plus the colors transform as they dry.
The finished dye job rests to dry before getting several coats of Fiebing's Leather Sheen clearcoat.
Voila! Another miniature piece of custom art, ready to sew onto a jacket, bag, or any gear!
My Stinkin' Badges come in the 3"×4" shield shape above, or a 4" round, for $26 USD or 30 SBD (includes Priority shipping in the USA.) Custom shapes are always welcomed!
