If you want to sell lessons online, take a look at the site Kate built for Paul Burnett http://paintingcow.com It's automated so that when someone sends money they get a link to download the selections they picked out. If you want to take on a student one-on-one, you're going to need to figure out how much the experience is going to cost you before you make any estimates. Johanna

I love the way you blend color and texture into an eye-pleasing elegant design. You have a knack for going all out, but not over-doing. Your board is worth 10X what you probably charged. I would be pleased to put my hand-carved gazillion-dollar custom-made chess pieces on that board....if I really had a custom set of chess pieces. On a personal note, I know you have been very busy lately with varous projects, including all you are doing here at LW, and I appreciate they way you let us all follow the WIP from start to finish. I know that took some extra time, but I think I speak for everyone that we found it to be fascinating to watch the chess board turn from plain leather to a Kate Special. Thank you for including us on the journey. Johanna

Thanks for the kind words, Joe! Hey, don't eat the donuts- Clayb's dog licks them. Stick to the brownies and cookies.

It would have been easier to buy a complete set than find missing letters for that older one. Years ago, you could special order individual letter stamps from Tandy, but I don't know if that is still possible. Good luck with your search! Johanna

Springfield Leather advertises in the banners if you need a link to their site and/or a phone number. Tell them you heard about them on leatherworker.net. Kevin Hopkins is the boss there, and he goes out of his way to make sure that people get what they are looking for. CF makes some very nice interiors for all sorts of wallets, checkbooks and other pocket items. They also have a line of notebook or binder insides, too. Johanna
