That Oak Leaf pattern is a little bit difficult. Lots of very small
cuts making it so busy it's sometimes difficult to visualize the objects
from the line drawing. Next I'm going to do a rose pattern.

I'm having problems tracing patterns and transferring them to leather.
The paper is no good and I'm having problems with the tracing film
because after having been rolled up I can't get it to lay flat and it's
impossible to get it transferred without it moving. Is there any method
for securing the film to the leather, or to the line drawing for that
matter?
