That is fantastic work. It is more artwork than just a seat.

Looks amazing

Very cool!

It looks great.

Thanks jmann8686 and electrathon For the pattern I've been using you can just skip down to that picture. Reading the story will show how you can come up with a pattern almost anywhere and when you least expect to. * There is a funny story about the pattern I use. When I saw some examples of leather roses I wanted to make them. I hated giving roses to me ex because they died, so the idea of a rose that didn't die appealed to me. But I couldn't find a pattern. I spent about 5 days playing on my computer and drawing different ideas. I checked Tandy's site and others but couldn't find one that worked for me. My daughter bought some chocolate hearts. When she offered me one she noticed they were marshmallow. When I was going to make some chocolate covered marshmallows around Christmas she said no way she hates them. When she saw what she bought she was annoyed. I had one and went back to work trying to make a pattern. After a while I had another one but as I pealed it I thought wait a second that looks right. So I placed the heart on cardboard and traced one heart then moved it over and did a second and a third. I had to cut the base thinner. I then cut the pattern in half for the center. The leaves I just free hand draw. I call them June's Chocolate Heart Roses. * Here is the pattern and a couple of others I did.

Thanks Wishful

I saw another member doing leather roses. Valentine's Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. Halloween is another! So I went and tried to create a rose as well.
