Gorgeous!!

Nice!!

Your pieces look wonderful!!

Sorry about the accident, it sounds like you are talented being able to do scrimshaw. You're doing some fine work on leather!

Hey Tree Reaper that does sound like it would work and very easy too.

That looks spiffy! I really like the look!

It looks to me the first one was dyed first then a paint applied, allowed to dry and a block of wood with a real fine sandpaper was swiped across the top to make it look aged. I also think the belt was done the same way. Dye first then a paint and lightly sanded off. This is the way I would do it myself.

Cool, and your wife does excellent work also!

Well good luck in it not splattering on you project...that's what I worry about too. I'm always anxious when I get started so I hold my hand on the jar. I'm afraid it's going to fall off.

Beautiful!! Did you antique it or is it just burnished from the stamping?

NICE!

Very nice job Renee! So was this a white piece of leather that you started with or did you spray acrylics?

Lol, I guess it does kind of look like that! This emblem was on a ring and about 3/4" in diameter so when it's magnified it's blurry as heck! I believe that the center coming down is eagles feet. He told me to do the best I could so, here it is...

Very nice, I'm sure she loves it!

Here is the next design for a seat I'm working on... for a guy whose grandfather was a stunt rider for a group in Holland before the war. He rode during the war as well. He died just before the family emigrated, in around '45. Not sure what the wording means. Maybe someone here can translate. It was a fun design to work.

Very cool! I've not tried anything with hair on hide yet. Any pointers you want to share?

That's cool, very lucky!

Looks good Cheryl! What problem with the lacing are you having?

I think the best smell of leather is in a leather coat/jacket store. Not sure why but that particular smell is HEAVEN. It's probably a toxic chemical they're using on the coats and maybe shoes too. I have no idea. Yes, the man cans were on The Shark Tank show. I wonder if it stays true to the smell when burning. I know Scentsy candle wax in the leather scent smell great in the unmelted form but when you start warming it up eventually it starts smelling like the fertilizer area in the grocer store. Very strong and bleachy.

I will say this...If anyone ever comes up with the right concoction, it will be the hottest thing going!

Welcome...looks like you're off to a good start!

Chief, If you can come up with a Leather Cologne that really smells like leather, I'm the first to buy!!
