leatheroo

i like www.deviantart.com...checkout the leathercraft under the artisan craft. i also like youtube for a laugh. i like to read the news every morning on the net.

wow, another great piece...love the bricks....the lettering is great and the little swirly things really catch the eye...cant wait to see more of your work

very pretty work

congrats....fantastic achievement

another quiver hits the road...i dont get much money for these, so i have to keep it quick and simple. the lacing makes me cringe abit, but for the money thats all the effort they get... dont you hate it when lacing, there are only about 6 holes to go and the lacing runs out!!!! i seem to do this all the time

beautiful work, love the color!

i agree...wow...fantastic work, the painting is incredible! what did you use to paint it? dye? acrylic? welcome to the forum

thanks everyone, i think the effect could translate to leather...will give it a go one day. hiloboy, the first thing i bought was a good quality mask for myself and casey...thanks for the reminder for anyone that is going to try this.

beautiful tight work, i envy anyone who can do this type of braiding

looking good, make sure you post the finished product....love the lady

awhile ago johanna kindly posted a link to a youtube vid about 'spacepainters'. these artists use spray enamel cans to produce paintings about outerspace. well i was hooked! i thought, i gotta try this. i bought a few cans of spray paint and below are our first efforts. the first two are mine and the bottom one is casey's (leathercat), please excuse the flash glare. sooooo much fun.

welcome, glad you found us, love your work caroline

great piece tom, i especially love the goldy color, any archer would be proud to wear this.

beautiful work, love the colors

sooo beautiful, i envy anyone who can braid like this...great work

After only one week away, i have to admit that i have a raging internet addiction. We had no quick access to the internet (no i didnt use any of the unsecured wireless connections that i found) and found that we spent quite a lot of money at the internet cafe and spent time at the library (free internet). I didnt realise that i relied on the internet to fill in my spare time. In my spare time i am either doing leatherwork, airbrushing or on the internet. When on holidays we would do things during the day, but in between activities i found myself at a complete loss!!! You can only read so much!! i have forgotten how to relax without my hobbies!!! My son calls my leather tools "my babies" and i missed them sooooo much! It was also strange to be in a place that had no animals. Our pets are in the house with us most of the time and it was strange not to have a cat on my lap or the dog being my shadow. How do people live without pets? You can probably tell we dont get many holidays as i havent developed the necessary techniques to survive away from home. I also feel as a mother, when on holidays, you are really doing everything that you do at home, just in a different location under worse conditions, but the kids had a great time so i suppose that is what matters the most.... ..what i big whinger i sound like...i know many people would give alot to have a holiday...for me a great holiday would be if the family went away and i got to stay at home by myself...oh the bliss that would be...

thanks clay, great tutorial, the photos are first class, what camera do you use?

beautiful work, the great lacing caught my eye.... scary stuff coloring leather....thats why peter main is my hero!!
