What i'm looking at recently is leather molding. I did some reserches and surprisely it seems that it's enought to soak leather in hot water to make it moldable, then shape it with hands and let it dry ovenight.Fantastic,can't wait to experiment it.

Ultimamente sono molto interessata al modellamento della pelle. Facendo delle ricerche ho scoperto che è sufficiente immergere completamente la pelle in acqua calda per renderla modellabile poi tirarla con le mani per farle prendere la forma e poi semplicemente lasciarla asciugare per 24 ore.Fantastico, non vedo l'ora di tentare!
