Greetings Everyone! New member here from North Carolina. I'm here to LEARN. I was at a Renaissance Festival a few weekends ago and happened across a man making custom leather accessories. He had some beautiful pieces. I got to thinking that this would be something i would be very interested in. I have an art background. I'm a graphic Designer, i love all things related to art, and i love to CREATE things. After a few google searches, i happened upon this site, and after seeing some of the BEAUTIFUL work on here, i'm completely and utterly hooked on leathercraft.
I have absolutely ZERO prior experience with leather, other than a wallet kit or two from Scouts long ago....I've been reading the internet and this site trying to gain as much knowledge of this craft as possible. I was at a local ReStore warehouse and happend upong an entire Stock of leather samples from a local Furniture Company, so i picked some up in hopes to start off my adventures with a wallet or check book holder of some sorts....Again, i'm new at all of this so i'm still trying to learn about patterns, tools, hand-stitching methods. etc......
I love the fact that leather can be a blank canvas, and a beautiful one at that. Any info/ help along the way would be greatly appreciated.
Be Well!
