The Hides to Art site now has PayPal up and working if you're ready to register for this years Extreme Leather Workshop. Art http://www.hidestoart.com/

Hey everyone ! Just wanted to make sure you all know about the up coming Hides to Art Leather Workshop. It's March 19-21 in Asheville, NC. You can get details at http://www.hidestoart.com/ I've gone the last two years and loved it!. There aren't too many workshops on the east coast so this is great! I can't afford to go out west to the big workshops. This year they will have Al Gould, Bob Beard and Chan Geer. The only hard part is picking which class to take. They have also sold leather, tools and supplies there in the past. I guess they will again this year. If you want any info on the past shows contact me. Art

No, this is a birthday gift for a friend. He has a .41 cal S&W. Thanks, Art

Great design. I like it! Art

NICE!! I am jealous!! Art

This horn bag is darker than it looks in these pictures. I made these as a gift for a good friend. It's made to hold his 41 caliber S&W revolver. The color, border and trim match his saddle. This is my first try at one of these. Art

Jim, I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into the tutorial. It is excellent!!! Have you thought about submitting it to LC&SJ? Thank you! Art

Nice work. Is the center portion embossed? Thanks, Art

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. The detail is unbelievable. Art

Beautiful work Brent!! I REALLY like it. How much does it weigh? Thanks, Art

I really like it! Nice job. Art

Thanks Folks. I bought the lining leather a long time ago. It's paper thin and I think it's pig skin. The inside top edge is actually a separate piece about 2" tall. I skived the top edges and glued them over about 1/2". Attached is a close up. Thanks, Art

Thanks, but the auction was just for people at work. I work for AT&T so there will be folks from all over the world seeing it and hopefully someone will bid on it. Art

We're raising money for United Way at work and I made this for our online auction at work. It's a bag (either purse or tote) with matching key fob. This is the first time I lined one and made a zippered pocket. Art

Attaching pictures again.

I assume you wet it then twist it. How do you keep each in place until it dries? How do the twists hold up over time? I guess they eventually straighten out. Thanks, Art

Great job! Did you twist all that fringe? Art

It looks great! I can't wait to see what you do with it. Art

It's wonderful to have you join us! How great it would be to have that history and skills passed down in a family. I look forward to seeing pictures of your work. Art

No, I didn't. We'll see how it works out. I started to use a piece of metal instead but thought I'd try the thick leather first. Art

Mmmm I saddle that nice you would think there would be a makers mark somewhere on it. Did you look at the skirts under the jockeys? There may be one under the silver plate on the strap keeper. Art

Awesome work!! Art

Thanks Josh. Art

LOL You won't see me carrying it Ray! Art
