They're here! many thanks.
Mine arrived, they were to small, and the wrong way around what a knightmare, never mind.
as stated I have started another small group buy on bb, if anyone is interested, this one will be for 4 people, so that there is a little more space for designs, if you are interested please just let me no, have got me art work nearly sorted now.

So excited :) And not too bad for a demented first attempt at leather stamping, with my own designs too! Spandit, you're an absolute angel for making this possible for all of us, I can't tell you how pumped I am with them!

I think I'd made the tyre print a little heavy, should have allowed a little more negative space on the tyre centres but hey ho... to make a repeat pattern easier, I might cut a little groove at each side of the pattern area on the edges. However I was far too excited to be in any way neat, it was all about thumping it wit' 'ammer ;)

Mine is wicked and I was well impressed by how quick it came. I wasn't expecting it to take a week or so.

Just pressed firmly into cased leather!

Thanks for all the pics, people! Glad they (finally) came good! I've redesigned (un)LuckyLee's logo for him and e-mailed it so hopefully his stamps in future should be what he requires.

I think the tyre idea is great. I would be tempted to try overlap the half tread onto a previous full tread rather than trying to get the two halves to match properly.

ohh, top tips, and I'll try the clamping on the individual stamp too :) its smashing to see everyones stamps realized in leather and the traditional bcuk supportivness for us noob users :D

Hammering could damage the stamp and might result in an uneven impression. Also run the risk of hitting the leatherwork. Clamping is the best way

I'm happy. :D Wasn't sure how well the detail would come though but it's crisp enough for me.

Not bad for just a quick squish.

Need to play with a couple of clamps together or a wider face for this one!
