Tooling with Kathy Flanagan
There are plenty of ways to tool an elephant on leather, but do you know how to make one look
realistic? Let me help you with this. With me you will learn how to emboss an African bull
elephant, cut certain parts to create a more 3-dimensional look, and how to tool the skin for a
more realistic look. Color will be applied once the tooling is finished, and you will walk away
with a complete 8” x 10” picture, ready for framing.
