Very nice design, me like :-) The total package looks "expensive", very nice lacing and I like the darker edges too.

I'm only using the Angelus dyes and so far the only time it comes out blotchy is when the hide is not prepered (Angelus have a deglazer for this). The black has been really nice to me so far, never uneven...Can it have something to do with the hide? I have also started to use the dye when it is still wet/damp, especially when the dye is deluted (trying to get more even resaults without using air guns) and so far this works out fine for me. Hope this helps but I guess that making your own little experiments would not hurt (small scrap pieces of course *S*)

You collect all the tough girls over there? :-) Love the tattoo pattern, very cute lil'bro

Yyyihaaaa:-) Love'm, the color on the wool is super nice, this is the first pair of black I have seen, I promise, i woun't laugh

I simply love your eye for details Clay...The feathers, delicate:-) Seeing this one make me think of the buffalo, you absolutly have your own style and I can see the work that has gone in to this one, Beautiful:-)

Another Swede here...But for the moment still living in MI:-)

Very nice and decorative key rings. The stiching makes it look very pro:-)

I will do that:-) We're moving over to Skåne this fall so your town will not be far away.

Totallt love that wallet. The colors is super nice, warm, love it:-) I wonder if you have a shop or something in Copenhagen? It would be really nice seeing your work close up in person:-) Have a fab day//Tina

I have also used ordinary veg.tan and then dyed it black. So far I have always been able to get a even nice color, very pitch black and no "lifting" at all. I use Angelus spirit dye, when it is dry I have one coat of Neatfoot oil, let it dry/suck in for at least 24 hours, more woould not hurt. Then I can use the acryllic finisher without any problem. The resault is very even i real life...Here's a picture sample: For some reason The uploaded picture is destorted???? I leave it cuz it belongs to the text but the original do not have that devider...Strange!

Wow ... Time to open your school books again. I have given your rude and inaccurate comments way to much time already, just a few facts that I can easily look up then I close this book. Economy: Don’t pretend we all don’t know the cause of this mess, to make it a bit simplified: Wall street and fraudulent triple A papers, a housing bubble = house of cards, I live here and I do watch all the news too...And I do pay attension. Now with that said: Interest rates (checked today) for buying a home Sweden: Todays rates 2.2% on adjustable rates 2.5% on fixed rates. The equivalent to the "Federal Reserve" in Sweden has the interest set to 1% today....Rather nice I think:-) USA: National Average Rates today... (I could not find a today's best on adjustable loans) 30 Yr fixed 5.42% 5.33% 15 Yr fixed 5.02% 5.09% ...and I have NEVER ever heard of anyone having to wait/stand inline to buy a house on the market??? You bid/make an offer, if you win/agrees it’s yours...How different is that from here??? Unemployment rates: Sweden March 2009 - 7.4% Michigan March 2009 - 8.4% USA total January 23, 2009 - 7.6% (US Department of Labor info) I did not find more recent facts. Just to mention a few... License for weapons... Takes a few days to a month depending on time of the year (ie; hunting season) handled by the police, some stipulations might apply. The "No guns in Europe" is a American Urban legend, very convenient for certain organizations to scare unsuspected people with..."Beware of the dangerous European way of life". I also think the accusations of bribes is totally inexcusable. High taxes... The sum our family pays for the medical insurance/month is almost the amount the taxes are in Sweden/month. (this does NOT include the co-pay of $5000/person/year here if surgery and such is needed) Some of what you get for the tax money: They have state medical over there, the co-pay/year/person is $290 this include all medical treatment and medications and some dental care. If my memory serves me right I think Germany and England might have it even better? Taxes pays for the roads, (very, very good condition compare to MI) Taxes pays for free schools and universities. (The idea is that never mind how poor you are, education is a right and should not be deprived due to lack of funds.) You have to pay for your literature at the universities. Taxes also pays for free school lunches all the way through high school. Taxes pays partially for daycare. The list could be much longer, this is just a few things, but important things. Within EU (Like within USA) we don't pay taxes. Coming from outside EU the taxes are different depending of the item (just like here...) One only need just to stay on the right side of the law...Just like here!!! Strange how similar it is, isn’t it? No country have to join EU, it’s all voluntarily and in every case I can remember on the top of my head it has been a peoples choice election first=democracy. The same with currency, some has changed to Euro, some has not, again democratic elections in most cases. Now, for the rest, what I don’t know I try to find the right answers to before stating a fact and if I can’t find it, I would like to think I have the sense to shut up! With this said I have stated what I had to say in this matter//Thanks

Wow, interesting. Where did you go to in Europe and how long did you stay?

Like it alot lil'bro:-) It sure is nice when you don't need to see who posted the item and still know ho did it cuz of the style...Skitläcker

I really like it alot Tom, good work on this one

Super Tack

Hi Ray...Found them:-) here the link, go to page 3 at the top, DKK 222.50 (Danish page) http://www.laederiet.dk/produkter/visprodu...dansk.asp?id=27 I use to buy from them when I lived in Sweden, I know for sure they speak english cuz I always called them when I wanted stuff. This place have some of the best prices on Jiffy and double cap rivets too if someone uses them, rivets in danish is - nitter.

Thank You and you're abolutly right:-) I did post up a picture of this skull in January and I forgot to write down steampunk on this topic... http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?s...ic=14231&hl=

Thanks John, and I think being asked to use the pattern is the ultimate compliment

Now have in mind....I don't use the eco flow line at all and I have no idea how it reacts to anything. I use Angelus spirit dyes, I love the vivid colors they make and they don't go away or bleed with the finishes I use (Fiebing and the old Tandy antiques). If these are better or worse than others, well I let you tell me what you think:-) http://turtlefeathers.net/text/angelus/dye.html Just scroll down a bit and you'll find the color chart.

Pur svenska duger alldeles utmärkt och supertack:-)

Thank you JoAnn:-) When the pouch is closed it is: hight 7.5" width: 5" and depth: 2"

Thanks girl:-) Doing my best to finish up stuff, but it is soo much more fun doing the carving/tooling. Thanks Art, I really appriciate your comments:-)

I sooo wish I could go this year too but, we're going to Sweden in March/April and I don't even know if we're here then. I have to say though, I had a wonderful time last year, meeting Brent, Johanna and the rest of the leather people:-)

Thanks:-) Well, photos...I just take them ontop of a poster paper (dull/matte side up) and using the flash. I do use my photo program to "clean up" the background and make it look like it is just in one take rather than 3 photos put together as in this case. I give all the credit to my camera, I'm happy with it over all (Panasonic/Lumix DMC FZ50) and if I'm not to lazy (which happends) I also use the tripod.

All pattern's sold...Thank You each and every one and I hope you post pictures of your work here:-) Wishing everybody a wonderful evening//Tina
