embossing

[FEATHERS]

G'Day All, I found a pattern I'd like to try & I thought I would have a go at embossing.I don't have much info on embossing,the little I do have says that after you have carved the pattern & bevelled the outline you turn it over & roll it over different sized marble to get the raised effect.Well I have an ex wife & I don't think I have still got all my marbles.So any help guys would be great.Feathers

You and use a ball modeling spoon and hold the leather between your fingers and push from the back side.
Another way is to use foam coreboard and peal the paper off one side. Lay the project upside down on the foam and use a smooth pearshader on the back. Both way work well.

Sounds to me like another CowboyWC instructional video idea!
