I am stuck here ,what do I say ? I am guessing you are doing a business card holder. I can sugar coat this or give you some advise that will raise the bar on the next ones . First think you are making this for a business pro ,car dealership owner , suits are us customer , real estate sales people . The things that need some love and attention are the edges both in cutting them straight and burnishing for a finished look .Next you gotta find way to hide the ending stitch that needs to be cleaned up a bit . Now to the good things : the stitching is okay ,shape is good, moulding technique looks like it will work just fine . Its the tiny details are what makes a project a sucess. The things I mentioned are where the eye hangs up when crusing your project. You are close really really close with this project.While this in no way sugar coats this project it is just my opinion and nothing more . Hope you see it that way . Bill

Bill:

Your uninvited criticism is a little harsh. I can certainly understand why your stuck! It would appear your very focused on technical aspects of this simple project. Wouldn't I have posted in the "criticize my work" section. Please be open to the possibility that this project is not intended for what you have pigeon-holed it for. Now that your assumptions for its purpose are wrong please accept the intention of this item. This is nothing more or less than a simple cover or handle for a glass burnisher. It is for personal use and the form and function is nothing more than just that. Notice that there is no stamping, coloring or edge finishing, very good, functionality only was the expectation here! Thanks for your welcome to the web site, I have really only been doing leather since May-June and am on a steep learning curve as well as a limited budget, as most, and trying make projects with small array of tools. I have been sifting through the leather worker web site for a time now and find a theme where many encourage to post pictures of work they have done. So, I took the risk of doing so and your comments are making me think, as a new member, about posting any more work.

It is what it is.

Steven: There are a few that seem to think they can just harsh on you and no one cares. I think your little sheath for your slicker is cool Perfectly serviceable. If you'll notice I don't post in the gallery... for more than this reason. Sorry for some peoples poor manners....

Thank you for your kind and supportive words. I believe positive people say positive things. Thanks once again
