I don't 'hand' out business cards. Someone has to ask me because I'm cheap, LOL. As a tag on a purchased product I wouldn't mind something like this, but would rather it be a key chain or something functional. My first farmer's market I went to the bathroom and my neighbor watched my booth. When I got back she was handing out my business cards to everyone. I told her people that don't ask just throw them away and not to do that. I can see both sides here and do know if I made something like this as a key chain to go with a paid product I would just have my name and phone number on it. And maybe VT. We get a lot of tourists and they like things with VT on them. Cheryl

This is the leather I'm using for my shoes, including the veg tanned for soles. I'm hoping I won't have to piece it anywhere although they will be multicolored. I think if I cut it right I shouldn't have to. And as told, no fringe on this

ROFL, i'd say a chastity belt would fit right in. I have decided I'm going to make some soft shoes, similar to moccasins from hair-on-hide leather. The tools I'll be using, age appropriate as possible is a knife, shears, needled and thread, and glue. Anyone who wants to give this same project a shot we can muddle through it together. Or I'll carry on alone but I might end up with two left shoes. Oh and fringe will be veg tanned died with vinegaroon. The didn't have the ever popular steel wool we use today but that doesn't mean they didn't have cider and rusted metals. Off we go!!!!! Cheryl

Few Question About Leather For Home Decore Pillows!
DoubleC replied to Mo32's topic in How Do I Do That?
I'll try to answer as much as I can. I'm going to tool me a pillow MAYBE on some tooling pig I got cheap at Springfield Leather Company because it's only around 2 oz. I've never made a pillow before so that may be too light weight, will have to see when the leather comes. However it is veg tanned for tooling. I would recommend Springfield to anyone, great products and excellent customer service. I would give them a call at http://springfieldleather.com/ toll free and ask them some of these questions. I'm pretty sure they'll cut your leather for you and you don't have to buy whole hides from them anyway, they sell it by the sq. ft. They also have so big hides they sell of upholstery type leather for $20.00 a piece and you could make several pillows from one hide. They will come as close to the color you want as possible. I bought one just to see what they were like and got a pretty pine colored green and it was nice. They sell their veg tanned also by the sq. ft. if you want to try some of the heavier leather for your pillows, like maybe 4-5oz. The cost is up to you really and how much you do on the pillow. Are you going to tool it? Are you going to fringe it? If you're just going to sew it inside out then stuff it the process should be very fast. If you're going to tool, dye, fringe, put a finish on it, condition the leather, etc. on veg tanned it becomes a longer process. I hope some of this was helpful. Cheryl -

Yes, everything is cut with the swivel knife except for the rib area and the shoulder blade and the backbone contour. I reduced my drawing to 8 & 1/2 x 11 and printed it out, put it in a clear plastic folder and did the lines with my stylus. Then I just used a modeling spoon to bevel all the parts because the hands, etc. were so small and I'm not good at beveling. So I used a stylus, swivel knife and spoon Even the hair is swivel knifed, LOL. Thank you Carson.

I decided to let my sketch do double duty for here and slc's lousy leather contest. I skived the furry back, wash it with saddle soap to get all the oiliness off and incorporated a slice into a simple border on the top and bottom. Going to hang this one on my wall
