leatheroo

stunning!!!!

hey muddy, i really love lefflers in melbourne..they have a terrible website but if you get them to send you a catalogue you can order over the phone...really quick cheap delivery..if you join their members club you get 30% off the prices.

a helicopter ride gift certificate, a car GPS and i bought myself a power cutter, wrapped it up and put 'to myself from myself'!!

lovely butterflies!!! i usually love your reddish background but i must say in this case i really like the look of the butterflies on the natural leather..they really stand out! I too have trouble finishing a lacing project...never did learn how to finish properly...its in a book somewhere...one day soon..

i really like this belt, nice and clean

vera, i have admired your work for a long time and this piece is just as great as all the others on your website...looking forward to seeing more

best wishes peter from downunder!! love this piece!!

its christmas morning here,...off for lunch at my brothers house this year (we take it in turns) with all the family...seafood is the go here...prawns, crayfish. etc...we have given up on a hot lunch, the weather is usually to hot to go that way.. best wishes to everyone

Keep safe everyone and have a great day. i hope santa brings you lots of prezzies!! Its nearly 6pm, christmas eve and the kids are bouncing off the walls!! i have 3 weeks holidays, so i am winding down.. summer time....beaches and swimming and of course leather projects!! the tradition in my family is seafood...smoked tasmanian salmon..prawns..crayfish and fish!!

wow, this is so nice...such clean work....great design and color

good to hear from you again spider...i like your wallet..the kitty is great

stunning, i wish i was on your christmas list!!!

this company have some great hat styles..love this skull hat!

thankyou friends....so nice to be remembered on my birthday....my lovely family forgot !!!!! it wasnt until my mother came over that the penny dropped!! i felt i deserved some compensation so i ordered one of the power cutters that was mentioned in another post...they are marketed under the Borch brand here.

hope the clouds clear soon for you... keep safe over the holidays...

lovely clean work, great colors..

very special gift...beautiful

now thats a great belt...

this is a stunning piece of work!!! the tri weave is divine!!! very classy!

i LOVE metric, we have been totally metric for as long as i can remember... i cant get my head around pounds and oz, feet and inches..all the measurements are different....if i cant divide something by 10, 100 or 1000 if doesnt make sense to me. However for a whole country as big as yours to change now would be such a huge undertaking, but on the other hand, have different countries on different systems seems a little crazy too.

nice cuffs beav, these little projects are always good value

another great piece tom, i love to look at your etsy site!!!

Big hugs from downunder!!!

beautiful work tina, lucky people who get to be on your xmas list!!!

thanks guys, yes clay it was all one piece of leather, it started out a lot bigger but a snip here and there and this is how it turned out. It amazes me how when making a mask the leather seems to have a mind of it own!! I have a rough idea of what i want to do, ( in this case the pleated leather) but the project takes on a life of its own. This is why i would never do commissions, i could never make the same mask twice, it just wouldnt turn out the same. I also have trouble with the texture of the leather, I think it has to do with the thickness of the leather. When i cut this mask it felt all the same thickness, but when it was wet, one side was thicker than the other. This means when molding, some parts are firm, but harder to mold, while the other parts are nearly too thin and crinkle to easily.
