More tooling

[Ark79]

My cousin asked me to make my nephew a little money pouch for when he’s at the market with him, the wee lad like carousel horses, so I thought I would try and tool one onto the leather so the scrap leather is oot and practice begins…. First one freehand I may add

Few more practice runs needed me thinks

This one is a bit more stylised and I really like it mark, The proportions are better, the rope effect on the pole works better as well...Also getting much neater around the edges...That looks like a great design.
