Leather stamping
Leather Stamping
Leather stamping involves the use of shaped implements to create an imprint onto the leather surface. Some commercial stamps are available, and include geometric, animals and other designs. Most stamping is performed on natural tanned leather that has been dampened with water, the water makes the leather softer and able to be compressed by the design being pressed or stamped into it. After the leather has been stamped, the design stays on the leather but can fade if the leather becomes wet and is flexed.
