Can I do a resin coat on leather? I have a piece of art that was painted onto a leather hide. It is currently mounted onto thick paper background and framed (glass is covering the art).
I don't think I can safely remove the leather hide from the thick paper backing, so I figured to cut around the hide (cut through the paper backing in the shape of the hide so it's still attached).
My idea was to coat the hide (& attached cut-out backing) in resin. So essentially i get a hard, hide-shaped resin slab. (That i could then hopefully mount to my wall.)
Is this idea possible? Has anyone tried coating leather in resin?
Any help/ suggestions/ advice/ criticism is welcome & much appreciated
The only other idea my friend had was to mount (adhere somehow) the leather hide to a wood slab... But this seems more difficult to me as i don't know how I'd cut the wood to the intricate shape of the hide.
Thanks again!!
