This bracelet is one of about five or six that I have made this way. I like to do them in such a way that no metal from the snaps is exposed or touching your skin. Each piece is individually cut and attached with contact cement, then trimmed and sewn. Three different leathers are used here, the thinner and softer, which is the purple in this case, is used as the one that is against your skin. Hope you all enjoy my designs and feel free to leave your comments.

I made this hunting bad from a thick buffalo leather with a thinner black buffalo leather for the pockets. The pocket closures are made from elk antler and I used elastic cord for keeping the pockets closed. The hoof prints are from the same black buffalo and the elastic cord's knots are hidden behind the hoof prints. The art work of the deer scene I burned onto the front. Hope you enjoy. Would love to find a site where people are interested in having items like these made. I like to get together with people and design what they want and add my ideas to it, to come up with a real unique design. It wouldn't be the first, but people just stopped buying due to the economy. Anyway, enjoy your craft.

I designed this bag for my personal fishing needs and it serves it's purpose. The fish is cut out with a scalpel and I layed purple metallic leather behind the base leather and sewed. The worm on the hook, I burned into the leather. The bronze bass figurines I purchased from eBay, installed threaded rivets with epoxy and installed on each pocket.

I like the hawk, it's nice, but if you made the white thread dissapear and use black instead, attention wouldn't be focused on the outer edge of your work. Just a thought, hope you don't mind.

Go onto Custommade.com and you can get leather craftsmen to give you quotes on making you one.

Monica, if you want to try something really cool, listen up! Anything you buy from a thrift or other means and it seems to look like it cannot be mounted onto leather, imagine drilling into the object about 1/8" and then you can epoxy the two part threaded rivets, that's how I attach a lot of my things to the leather and if you have room for two of them, use one for the female end of a snap. Sounds harder then it is, believe me.
