| KAPOW = Kevin’s Art Project of the Week | ||
The KAPOW this week was to make a leather seat pad for a very hard Ikea stool that I have been using at the computer desk. The stool needed something to alleviate the pressure points. This is the second large-ish leather project I have done in the last few months, and I have learned a lot about making patterns, planning ahead, knowing where to place your fasteners ahead of time, and that I need to learn more about applying dye and colors. The swirl was added as a decorative motif–I like swirls. I am curious if it will leave an indentation.
Here are some photos of the making process
