leatheroo

I made this seat using a bigger pan...and i got the holes to match up this time!!!...thanks to those who generously described the right technique...i am still having a bit of trouble with puckering at the narrow end of the seat...anyway, here it is...the lacing is not quite finished, but the camera was out....i must admit, i am really happy with the way the color turned out. cheers

You're after my heart storm....i love carving tattoo flash...its my main source of inspiration.

incredible work!!!! welcome from Geelong Victoria

welcome, remember we love pictures!!!

welcome...great work...looking forward to seeing more

stunning.....maybe i sleep too much!

loving the scroll work...you have been so busy lately storm!!

excellent!!

very rare...1 in every 10,000...they usually dont survive in the wild

nice shapes...i like the green man one too!

what a grand outfit!!

what a wonderful image..santa wearing an Akubra hat with his sleigh being pulled by the boomers....i would love to see what peter main could do with this thought!!!!

I was at the local market this morning and to my surprise there was a leathercraft stall! I have never seen a stall here in geelong in 25 years, so i thought i would have a chat. The gent and his wife make belts, wallets, hats etc... We started chatting and eventually got to the subject of the internet and i was praising the members on this site and the wealth of information here.....He relied " I have been in the business for over 35 years and there is nothing anyone could teach me!!!!!" I nearly fell over...i have never come across any crafts person that didnt think they could improve!! I had a closer look at his stock and yes, you guessed it, his work was pretty average..not the worst i have seen, but there was LOTS of room for improvement. I still cant believe he said that!!!!

i think they look great...i could carry my laptop in one of these!

How cute are these!! White roos rarely survive in the wide so breeding sanctuaries have been set up here in Australia.

very nice and clean, thanks for the pattern

thanks guys....Halloween is a bit of a non event here in australia ...i dont even know what date it falls on!!!!!

I had an order for an all black mask...but i couldnt help myself...had to add just a touch of red!!

hello, looking forward to seeing your work...dont be shy!!

thanks for taking the time to do this, great little bag!!

Soooooooooo excited!!!! I have been accepted to be a contestant on Millionaire Hot Seat...this is a variation on Who wants to be a Millionaire! Six contestants...could i get lucky!!!!!!! Filming on 28 October.....can everyone please think lucky thoughts for me!

nice find, thanks

thanks for the tips everyone...the color was called antique mahogany and i then airbrushed the edges with black. I have the bruce grant book, thats when i realised there was another way to do the lacing..i think daves and troys does look better....as for getting a book from tandy...$5 book and a $1000 flight...no tandy in Australia cheers

love it!! my favorite

here is the method i have always used...i now have the book you mentioned, but i find it soooo much slower to do...i need to do both and compare how they look...i think the bruce grant method will look better but most times the customer will never appreciate the extra effort or time you may put in. You will have to excuse my ignorance if this is a completely different lacing technique.
