It doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon. I have tried to contact the author but haven't anything back from them. For now, the only option is to contact Leatherwranglers and ask for "Floral Pattern Drawing for the Artistically Impaired". There is not much to the book. It's small enough to make yourself a pdf copy.

I sent an email to Leatherwranglers but haven't anything back from them yet. You may be on your own to scan the book and save as a pdf.

I recently purchased a book entitled "Floral Pattern Drawing for the Artistically Impaired". The book not only teaches you how to layout a balanced drawing, it also gives you tips and instructions for flowers, scrolls, stems, and leaves. I think that this is what you're looking for on the art side of leather work. I bought my copy through Leather Wranglers Inc (www.leatherwranglers.com). Good luck, let me know what you think about it.

That is impressive...from start to finish. That is the first time I've seen that type of backgrounding/matting. Is that just a foliage stamp? The sewing looked great. It must have been tough keeping so straight and even. What weight leather and liner did you use? Are these your designs (strap and tooling) or are they commercially available?
