Some Days

Some Days things dont go as they should or have in the past and it turns out to not be a bad thing in the end. This coin pouch was to be a two tone mahogany color but the block/resist that i used decided that was not to be so the colors bleed under the block making a mess of the two tone i was going for, so instead of trashing the 4 hours of tooling i had in this piece of leather i decided to paint over the mess and the result is what is above, it still need another coat of paint and a sealing clear but all in all it looks very nice...once laced it will be for sale on my etsy.com shop site.

Jester leather carving practice

Here is a something a bit different (needed a break from flowers....). It was done as a leather carving practice piece using tattoo flash from the web and still needs a few light adjustments around the eyes. Haven't decided on or if i will color it. Comments welcome.

Leather Checkbook Cover

Here is my latest leather work, its a checkbook cover with bright yellow daffodils and black lacing on the outside, the inside is a dark brown with two pockets for your checks and register. This was my first no kit project( i cut out all the parts) as well as my first with color. The daffodils have more use of a modeling tool than any thing else i have done so far. I'm starting to get the hang of the lacing around the edge, the corners look much better, still not perfect. This doesn't have a home so, it's available if anyone is interested.
