Hey ya'll! Just joined this group. Thank you, so much, for admitting me! My youngest daughter got into leathercraft as a possible way to make extra money, and she talked me into trying it. Didnt realize how expensive this new addiction would be! Haha! I have done a few things already, and will post pictures, maybe. As a beginner, I am not very good, but the process is enjoyable, and I am eager to learn. As I get to know ya'll better, be prepared for endless questions! I really like looking at other peoples projects and reading their victories and trials, and lessons learned. Maybe I will post some pictures, after all. Stand by the next few days!

Very nice! Did you make your own pattern?

This is coming along beautifully!

That is beautiful! I love peacocks, and I really like your interpretation of one. Very unique!

Cool! My daughter makes card boxes for Magic, the Gathering. I need her to get on this site and show off her stuff!

Pretty! I like the stitching

Looks very professional! Lovely!

Nice thinking outside of the box! Would love to see what else you do!

Beautiful!

Cool! Did you make your own pattern?

Nice!

Thank you, for the help! I did do a search on the topics, but did not find the answer I was looking for. I appreciate the suggestions!

Hi there! I am a beginner and pretty much self taught. I am interested in learning how to do the lattice work on this bag. I have figured out the measuring, cutting and bevelings, but finishing the edges of the open squares is throwing me for a loop. The openings are too small for my burnishing tool, and I would like them smooth and finished. Any suggestions? Thank you! Aw, the picture did not load up. Its a very nice backpack, too. On the leatherworkings of the bag is a lattice work with open squares. If I can learn it, I might incorporate it into a project. So the question remains: how do you burnish the edges of small openings? Thank you, again!
