Steampunky hand tooled leather patch

I created this as an inset for a leather corset I'm making, but it would look equally good on a jacket or bag. 

While probably not a good FIRST project, it's fine for crafty people who've played around some with leather tooling.

Step 1 Materials

Leather!  Veg tanned works best.

Line drawing, ball point pen, "transfer film" for leather

mallet and pounding surface
beveler, backgrounder, and pear shader tools
swivel knife for leather
sponge and non-metallic bowl for water
brown dye
paint- I used citadel colour acrylic paints and inks. 
leather finish

everything except the drawing and acrylic paint can be purchased at Tandy Leather Factory.
