Book Recommendation: Bob Park's Creating... "Western Floral Designs"
This video is a review and recommendation of Bob Park's book, "Creating... Western Floral Designs"
Perhaps like me you are pretty good at carving and tooling designs into leather, but struggle artistically to come up with your own floral designs that can fit nicely into your leather projects. In Bob's book he takes you step by step through the process of designing your own floral artwork with lots of illustrations, examples, and explanations. This is a great resource for those of us that need a more mechanical and clear cut process to drawing designs such as these.
Special thanks to Bob Park for taking the time to lend his expertise and pass on lots of great leather working tips. You can order Bob's book from Amazon, or from Barry King tools where I purchased mine. Enjoy!
