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!!

Wow, that's cool!

Very nice! Classy look too.

Welcome! Nice work...I'll have to visit your Etsy shop!

Welcome...you'll learn a lot on here! Glad you're enjoying the leather work!

Very sleek Silk!

I like the smell of leather too...I doubt if you'll ever get tired of the smell!

Nice work!

Cool! Horse does have such a nice pattern.

Silk, What lacing technique is on the gecko seat...it looks like an embroidery design but I can't think of the name of the stitch.

Very, very Nice! But you can keep the snow!

O.k. all, I'm in question as to when I make my own drawings how to tell whether I should cut certain lines with the swivel knife or model in certain areas. Like on the Craftaids there's a dotted line where you don't cut. How do I decide what NOT to cut? Is there a tried and true rule of how to know?

BEAUTIFUL!!

NICE!!

Nice work!
