Free Leather Pattern for Looking Back Horse

About This Pattern

Award-winning leather artist Kathy Flanagan is known for her life-like animal carvings in leather. In 2025, she posted a photograph of the half-profile of a horse looking backwards, which got a lot of attention online based on the definition and detail involved.

Responding to the many requests to offer this as a class, Kathy hosted the online class associated with this pattern, which sold out and had international attendance. If you are interested in horses and figure carving, this is a great class for you!

This pattern was originally created to be used with the two-part video workshop Realistic Textures: Mountain Lions by Kathy Flanagan. We’d love to see what you make from it in our online Facebook group Elktracks Studio Creations.
