InspiredTurquoiseTack Report post Posted March 28, 2011 Hello, I am new to the forum and am so glad to have found it! I can already tell I am going to learn so much. I have been working with leather and tack for 10 years now and specialize in application of turquoise, silver and gemstones to headstalls, breast collars, etc. I also craft a few of my own items if there is a size issue or something needs modification and I also dye and oil leather as well. I want to get into more of the crafting of leather as well as I have so many ideas that I would like to incorporate into my designs. I also specialize in Native American Reproduction Tack and love working in that concept as well. I use Weaver Leather for most of my ready made tack (I am a Dealer) and use a lot of their leather supply for my needs as well. I run a full service website but most of my sales come from custom orders based off of my website. Anyway, I am happy to be here and know I will learn a lot as this forum is filled with such talent!

BillB Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Gail, Welcome to the Forum. Sounds like you have been involved in leather for some time now. I think you will find that there are a lot of friendly and knowledgeable folks around here. I hope you will walk around and see all the different aspects of leather crafting and join in on some of the conversations. We are all here to advance leather crafting to the next level and to help beginners become old timers, other wise this form of crafts will die out. So, please join in on the conversation and share some pictures of your work. If you have not found the free coffee and donuts, they are down the main hall and at the corner.
