I have loved this concho for years and could not think of how the make it work until now. I had an idea when I was at Tandy this morning. Wasn't totally sure but it felt like my approach was good. Just something cowboy for a change!

That is top notch Mark! Love the pancake holster look!!

Very cool looking key fob. I have one I make but its like yours only a fold over. I am working on a new one but need to make it bigger to do what I want. I usually use Ilustrator and Photoshop. The computer works wonders some times.

Very Nice One! Like the Aztec motif. Working on some pieces for Day Of The Dead and Pre-Columbian motifs too. Like the website! Way Cool!

Very good first project! Keep on stamping and designing.

That's a beaut Caroline! Love the art and the lacing. I think you have found yet another branch of leather that you will shine in! Storm

Very Nice Bag!!! Super clean and should bring alot at auction! Great job!

Oh God! Ain't that the trueth!

Nice work Rick! Yup I would hazard a guess and say not legal at all! Still in all the color of the brass goes well with the seat.

I just saw a few of these in a Western with Lou Diamond Phillips called "Lone Rider". Yours looks a whole lot better. Maybe you should make up some for the movies!

Nice work Rick! Love the color and the look!

The design was inspired by a Pre-Columbian Inca Jar I saw. There was this cool vertical panel on the front. A little photoshop magic and some illustrator reconstruction and ....something different!

Zehr schon! Very beautiful work. Looks like it could go on the real deal. Great craftsmanship. There is going to be one happy little girl.

Great shots and nice work too! When are you opening your own retail store?!

Nice one Ian! I think that it looks pro on all counts and the design is really cool. I am sure your sister's going to love it.

Very Cool Work! These look really nice Bear! The work looks fine. You are going to sell more than a few of those babies!

Alright Dude! Freankenhelmet! The stitching isway cool. Very inovative and good recycling!

Very nicely done. You have the whole package going on...great straight basketweave...super job on the sewing and the lettering is killer!

As an old cavalry guy I can appreciate this one. She's a real beaut! Can't wait to see the next one!

Paul's work is really excellent! Even when doing something as simple as a belt buckle his skill shines through!

Wilbur Smith!?!?! God I thought I was the only one who read him! HA! This carving is beyond anything that I have ever seen. It makes me want to strive harder and to perfect the skills I have. Just the wreath of roses and the lady are one thing but the entire background thown in makes for stuff that legends are made of. Now I know I must work harder and hope that Imight obtain but a fractio of the skill that it took to create such a masteroiece of carving and color. This is fine art!!! Thanx for sharing

OMG! WTF!The rose lady piece is one of the finest I have ever seen. Is there a bigger version of this image. I am speechless! Somebody the other day said that leather carving was a dead art! I so beg to differ with him. That is hall of fame material!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! How big is the Rose Ladycarving!?!?!

Hi Chuck, Looks like you are getting a good start. Love the thing you have going with the skull. For someone starting out that is not too bad at all. I might suggest getting Al Stohlmans books on Figure Carving but I guess the foremost thing is to practice and practice some more. Start off with some scrap tooling leather and then if you goof up its not going to feel so bad. Go here:http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php? There , at the top you will see Johanna's piece called " Instruction sheet from introductory leather class by John Henry" Nothing like the basics. Also just explore through the site and you are going to find a whole lot of talented people. They've been were you are right now and you can learn alot from them. Good Luck and Let's See Some More Carving Real Soon Storm

Looking really good Rickey! You do a super job on the construction and putting it all together. Love the wings!
