American flag saddle and fly rod case.

The cover tooled and ready to wet form onto the bare saddle (Fizik Arione)

I stretch and tack the leather over the saddle and let it dry. 

This is sort of my first attempts at painting. I use a dye that soaks into the pores of the leather and is instantly permanent.

Very tiny stars.

Done. 

Fly rod case. This was my practice piece for painting. I was trying different colors and seeing how well it took to the leather.
