Seryn,
I have lots of shiny new leathery stuff you can check out at D*C.

I have never tried to emboss wet leather, but I suppose it might work...
If you just plan on embossing the leather in it's flat, natural state, you do not need to wet it first. It's only when you want to shape it that you need to get it wet. But when you do wet it, yes, you need to account for shrinkage. Shrinkage will depend on the thickness of the leather, too...I will try to find a more comprehensive page for you to look at.
Jadehand, what type of leather-work do you do?
Holding until you get back, Captain.

Sorry, I was unclear. I don't do leather work. I just admire, purchase and use the work of others. I have some bracers, a flogger, and newly aquired belt pouch, and flask holder, and an eyepatch, and a belt strap for my scabbard/cutlass. Arrrr!
So the extent of my leather work is tying people down and striking them with leathery bits. Works for them and for me.

Remember the good old days when this thread was all about me and a corset? *sigh*
I jest, I am not so vain as to regret the subject change (with the possible exception of that last bit by JH. TMO!). I have no personal interest in leatherwork myself, I don't like the smell of leather. BUT, I do admire the craftsmanship that goes into making quality products. And armour is fantastic. My favourite room in the Philadelphia Museum of Art was the armour and weaponry room. FASCINATING stuff.

Ah, I understand. We will need to meet up at Dragon Con and compare leather stuff. I make most of the leather things I have (pouches, clothing, scabbards, etc), but I love looking at others' work.

Sorry, Serenity!
*looking abashed*
We can talk about corsets again if you want to.
Yes, armor is fascinating! When I lived in Europe we managed to see almost all of the castles in France, several in Germany, England, etc., etc., but after awhile, I got bored of them (I was 10-13 years old a the time); I mean, how many castles can you see before saying, "oh, great, another castle"? I could kick myself now for not paying better attention. I did manage to see the armor display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC about ten years ago, and spent the whole day there taking notes and making drawings. I would love to go back to Europe now with a digital camera and a limitless bank account...
