I took a couple of hours this morning to get the plate for Goemon's headdress sorted out. I was initially thinking of ordering a fabric to use as a backing but I couldn't find anything that really felt correct. Thankfully, I DID have a big bin of leather scraps, a print-out of a similar design, a good stylus, and a big cup of tea. Protip: When tracing on to veg-tan with a paper stencil, cover the paper surface with tape first. This gives you a smoother surface to trace plus it prevents the paper from getting too damp from the wet leather underneath. 👌
