The next photo shows the initial top/finish layer of leather covering most of the core. The core was screwed to a piece of plywood. A hole was cut in the piece of leather to cover the core. The nose was inserted through the hole and the leather was molded to the core and nailed to the plywood to keep it in place.

Finally, the nose was covered with two more pieces of leather and properly sized and molded to best hide or camouflage the seams (we'll see how that works out later!!).

The next entry will show at least the texturing of the piece, if not the whole fox assembled (notice the ears are missing!).]]> Sculpture Leather Fox_1 http://www.moonlightartstudio.com/blog/index.php?entryid=31 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:44:58 +0600 http://www.moonlightartstudio.com/blog/index.php?entryid=30 When things get out of hand.) That one is mostly torn apart, now, and some of the leather pieces were used to build a more streamlined bag. There are only two compartments...one for the sketch book and one for drawing tools. It's much more convenient to take with me, now, since it's small and light and still carries what I need. Just for fun, I also carved some simple designs in the cover. I'll probably carve some more in other places, eventually, but I won't obsess about it.

Here they are traced onto the piece of hide. I couldn't get back far enough to take a picture of the whole thing.

Cutting them apart....cut, cut, cut, cut.....cut, cut, cut...

Finally, they're all shaped. The pile on the right is the scrap from about (just under) 5 square feet of leather.
