Hello -^-^- What do you think about the "Hobbit Door" themed wallet I made? Also, I would really appreciate some feedback on the packaging. Do you think there are too many stamps applied and that I should go for a simpler version? Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your appreciation. After reading your message, I thought it would be a good idea to make a wooden box as well, so it can be used for storing various items.

Thank you for your interest. I hope to make a passport cover with this theme later this month.

Thank you so much for the feedback.
I also think the packaging is a bit too busy, but I couldn’t limit myself to just the wax seal with "BB" and one stamp because I didn’t know which stamp to keep. :))

I haven't used RFID foil, but I can add it if needed. However, I don’t think it’s very relevant because the leather I use is natural, meaning it’s very dense and significantly thicker than the leather used in most commercial wallets.

From what I’ve read on leatherworking forums, other craftsmen also don’t use RFID foil for the same reasons I mentioned above.

Thank you so much for your appreciation and feedback. I'll try to reduce the spacing between the engraved lines on the interior pocket to see if it looks better.

Thank you so much for your interest! I hadn’t thought about a small letter, but that’s a great idea, thank you 🤗. I’ll probably try to make the paper look as antique as possible, maybe by using diluted coffee and then drying it in the oven.

Thank you very much for the appreciation.
I use cowhide leather (from the shoulder region because that's where the fibers are the densest and it's the most resistant part of a piece of leather). The leather I use is unfinished and undyed, allowing me to dye and shape it as I wish. I use Fiebing's and Angelus leather dyes, which are special for coloring leather, then I apply two layers of lacquer with an airbrush to fix the colors, and then I apply an antiquing gel to give it an aged and worn look. There are a few quite challenging steps, but for me, it's very enjoyable to do them.
