Wishful

I like the texture too. I shall have to try that myself.

OK, so what exactly happened?

I made quite a few bookmarks with Tandy's Celtic Rune letters and had the same concern. So, I ended up typing the words/letters into a computer program the way I wanted them to be then printed that out as my template to trace on the bookmarks. I also put a faint center line down the middle to line them up. Most turned out great but I had a little jumping of the letters - that is just my skill issue. I am hoping to make jig like has been discussed in another thread - then it should work out great. Good luck

I like it! What did you line it with?

I tend to use Olive Oil without much issues. I would be concerned of the purity of most baby oil and avoid scents. There are several topics on here about oils so I suggest a search if you dont get the answers directly here.

Beautiful box.

Most of the items here are made with veggie tan leather of various thickness. There are many websites that will give you some good info like :http://kingsmerecrafts.com/ but this site will be a great resource. As a beginner, I would suggest getting some of the ebooks that Tandy sells on their digital library: http://www.leathercraftlibrary.com/c-79-ebooks.aspx . A few to think about: ABC's of leatherworking, the art of making cases 1,2,3 or encyclopedia of saddle making. These are very foundational books that will get you up to speed pretty quick.

Nice job, I am sure she will like it.

I have not used yet but the reviews for the new Tandy Professional dyes seems to be pretty good on this site. They have a new edge finisher that is "neutral" and about 10 minutes into the video it says it can be mixed with color so this may be a good match for you. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/2803-515.aspx YouTube video: How to use the NEW Pro Series Waterstains.

Wow, is all I can say. Very nice. What is the braiding/stitching called on the jacket? Is that applique? I have been trying to track down a tutorial on this but need a name... very nice.

Impressive work.

I like the red and black contrast.

Great job! I can see it coming back to life!

I like your stuff, you've been busy!

You can download the new 2012 catalog on the leathercraft library. I like the new snap caps in the Oct flyer.

Very cool, neat design on the helmet.

Nice job.

Very beautiful work

Anyoneknow where I can get a concho like this heart concho? I have seen all kinds of other ones but cannot find one like this. Thanks!

Cute design.

Beautiful purse... Beyond my current capabilities but I think you have come to the right place as others have great talent here.

Hide House is one option as they have a good selection.

Very impressive!

Anyone know if you can buy the vinegaroon anywhere?

Thanks anyway.
