  1. They are so beautiful Bonnie.
  2. Animals love me, the dogs are no problem. I will probably need to borrow a truck to take it with me.
  3. I am hoping to donate. I wish they would let me use paypal. When does your campaign end?
  4. Bonnie, that is a dreadful little trailer. I must save you from dealing with it so send your address and I will come and get it off your hands.
  5. What a wonderful job. He is so adorable. I can't tell with the basket weave but it looks good. It is one of my favorite lacing techniques.
  6. silverwingit, I totally agree with you, that is why I said what i did. I like yourself have worked my whole life three jobs at a time, I am still doing that. I was appalled that he would say such a heinous thing. It was not called for, not being discussed and he needs to open his narrow mind and think before inserting both his big feet.
  7. The non glossy is matt or satin shene
  8. I like super shene but then I like shiny. Have you tried Satin shene? Use the spray and save yourself problems. I don't use mink oil because it will take the finish off. I also don't use fieblings. I prefer the water stains, and pro dyes. All dyes and stains will come off a tad but not a lot. Do not use rubbing alcohol.
  9. I am a little confused by the comment made about welfare recipients. I never saw where, Glen, said that was his target sales audience.I am also confused how one would know how much a person on welfare receives unless they are on welfare. I doubt people on welfare as much as they may love tooled items could afford them and I strongly doubt if they are getting medical benefits those would be considered medical aides. Some people have spouses that work and they probably have even better medical benefits than those on welfare and I bet they get to go fishing because they can afford the bait. I doubt other college students can buy lovely tooled items because they are no better off than welfare recipients. So, perhaps small items like key fobs, bracelets, luggage tags, eye patches (yes, like a pirate) may be good things to get up on your Etsy site too, Glen. Little Items are great as gifts for oneself or others and don't require a lot of work or money. Then maybe student and welfare recipients can buy them too.
  10. I am about to throw my hat into your belt ring. It is a lovely belt and people looking for that type of belt will buy it. This is how your price your work. The cost of goods, all of them +Then how much your time is worth per hour+40% mark up= total. Now is your belt lined. I could be wrong but it didn't look lined to me. Lining a belt prevents it from stretching out of shape. You are not over priced on that belt. Now it may take a while for the perfect customer to come and buy it but they will come. Put it all over your social media. You may take up making messenger bags and purses they will sell faster. Best of luck/.
  11. I have been searching for it and can't find it either.
  12. The drinking horn and mjolnir is totally stunning.
  13. I have done leather sculptures with a substance called Paverpol. You can use any natural substance material like cotton, silk, leather to do these and also pictures out of it. It is very similar to what one would call leather mache. it is messy and if you get it on your clothes and they are natural it is not coming off. It makes the statue eco friendly and they can survive outside in any kind of weather.
  14. Welcome to the best leather working site, Gordon. Your wee watch straps are very charming!
  15. What a wonderful and gorgeous belt, simply stunning.
  16. Very nice, lovely leather. Great job!
  17. That is way too cool. What program do you use on your computer to do this. Autocad?
  18. Very nice, love the contrasts.
  19. Those are amazing saddles. The English Saddle to me is the Ferrari of saddles, so comfortable. The side saddle I would have loved to try in my younger days. I hear riding side saddle is quite dangerous. Those saddles are stunning,
  20. Absolutely stunning, fabulous work. I am stunned and amazed it is so lifelike. My gosh can you tell us a more about it. There are not enough wonderful things I can say about this splendid piece of artwork.
  21. I like that belt/bag a lot. I actually want to make some with different sized pockets. A big pocket is useful. It is a great way not to carry a purse.
  22. Thanks Thor, I have it all saved.Yay.
  23. Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are one of my heroes I called them and they have it. Thank you the adorable Thorrible, so much for sending that sheet. I can practice with that until I get my book. Thank you for sending this, I did see it but it was so far away from the action I couldn't see it. It looked good but it was too far for me to see.
  24. Is that mexican round braid lacing.. I am trying to find something that shows me how it is done. I like the belt.
