Christmas Card by Jim Linnell
This beautiful Christmas card, designed and carved by Jim Linnell, can be carved two different ways. It can either be carved as one piece of leather with usual carving technique or it can be carved using the filigree technique. The featured piece was done with the filigree technique using two different pieces of leather. The filigree technique provides extra depth to the finished card. The ribbon and holly was carved on a lighter weight of leather and then glued onto the main card. The leather used was the #9003 Royal Meadow. Keep in mind, when cutting your leather for this project, you will want to include the backside of the card as well. The fold for this card will be on the topside of this pattern.

Spur Strap Patterns
Whether you're a real cowboy or doing re-enactments, spur straps are very easy to make. Various weights of leather can be used but a thicker leather will lay the nicest across the boot. For two-piece buckle spur straps, the pattern can be lengthened by adding buckle holes and lengthening the tongue of the billet. To shorten the spur straps, the spur button hole can be shifted in on the billet piece (the one with the buckle holes) of the spur strap. Trace the billet pattern onto the tracing film. Move the tracing film, shifting the location of the button hole away from the spur towards the buckle holes. Trace the new button hole location onto the tracing film. You can only shorten the spur straps a little bit with this method. Be sure to flip the pattern when cutting out your leather. If you don't, you'll have two rights instead of a left and a right.

Celtic Targe By Jason Pate
What is a Targe? The english word, targe, is a shortened form of and Old French word, targuette or targete. Today, we pronounce the word as target. But centuries ago, a targe was a small, round shield, held in hand, or sometimes strapped to the arm, and used by a warrior to protect himself from knives and arrows. The information on the downloadable instructions will guide you in making a targe similar to the shields once used in battle.

Click for large image.
Here are a couple of notes about the coloring and finishing on this project:
1) After completing the carving and before applying any color, Jim applied a coat of Tandy Block Finish #22014 to create a consistent surface for color application.
2) For coloring, use acrylic craft paints and start at the foreground and work to the background, going from lighter tones to darker tones. Use our Red Sable Hair Brushes #3441-03.
3) The picture was finished with an acrylic matte spray to avoid smearing or beading which might happen with a rub on finish.

Floral Billfold Pattern by Al Stohlman
This free pattern is an oldie from the 1960's by Al Stohlman.
Al used the following Craftool Stamps: to create this design: B198, B936, F898, F900, F976, H907, P234, P368, S632, S705, S706, S932, U853 and V462. After the tooling was completed, Al removed the background areas (called filigree) and glued a piece of suede behind the tooling. To filigree the design, he used a craft knife and round drive punches. It's pretty intricate work. Of course, you don't have to do the filigree work to create this pattern. Just use Craftool stamps A104-2 and A104 to background the filigree areas.

If you like this pattern, Al Stohlman's Top 20 book #66038-00 has 19 more wonderful patterns for men's and ladies billfolds. Plus, it has three styles of traceable alphabet patterns with instructions on how to weave them into a tooling pattern, instructions on how to filigree a pattern, how to hand sew and double loop stitch and more. It's a great book!
