Thank you all. The cow/ calf pair was difficult for me to do - this is my first one. But, I learned some stuff doing this one so hopefully I like the next one beter. Thanks again guys! Hope you all have a great day!

Hello Everybody, I have been pretty quite lately, so I thought I would share a project I did for Christmas this last year. This is a wall hanging I did for a customer that features their ranch name and their brand is on the cows hip. It was a lot of fun to do - carving is my favorite thing to do so this project was a dream come true for me. I wish I could do a lot more of this stuff. Any way, hope you all enjoy it and have a great day!

How fun!!!!! I am going to have to do a no rules doodle also! Looks Great!

Thanks! I'll give them a try.

I am looking for some giraffe print hair on hide, but I want it to be small print so I can make purses with it. Does any one know where I can find this? Thanks

Looks Great! She did a wonderful job!

the TCAA website is www.tcowboyarts.org They have tons of pictures of all the TCAA members work. I love that website!

Well Done!

Nice! Love the color!

That is cool! I want to go to Scotland so bad.

I bound the edges with lamb, its soft and thin and easy to work with. And I stitched it on my Adler 205, actually the only sewing machine I have right now. And I used 207 thread on the top and 138 on the bottom. I would like to use finner thread, but only have to one machine so....got to work with what ya got. P.S. thank you for the complement!

I cut the background out with a sharp exacto knife. If you use nice firm leather the knife burnishes the edges while you cut and you don't have to worry about it too much.

It is actually white lamb.

This is a clutch that I made a while ago...thought you guys might enjoy seeing it. Hope everybody has a great weekend!

That looks cool! What did you use for dye? The colors are really nice.

Thanks! I don't know yet. I have to get a bunch of equipment so...I'll just see what I can find. Carving is probably my favortie thing to do and saddles are the main stay of my business at this time. But boots are fun to make too.

Thanks Kathy! I take it you rented a place to Drew...? His folks are neigbors with my boyfriend. Hope you have a great day!

Hi, My name is Clair Mullin and I am new to this website so I thought I'd introduce myself. I did post some of my work in the "show off" place. Any way, I am a saddle maker and leather artisan from John Day - a tiny town in Eastern Oregon. I make western saddles, tack, chaps and chinks, handbags and briefcases...I make a lot of stuff because it all is interesting to me... I recently started making boots - what fun! I have made two pair now, so I still need all the help I can get, but so far I enjoy it. Here is a picture of my first pair of boots. I hope you like them...

Hi, I am new to this website, so I just wanted to introduce myself. I am Clair, I make saddles and all kinds of leather stuff in my shop in John Day Oregon. This is a 3-ring binder that I made last year for Christmas, it was pretty fun. I hope you like it.

Julia, I want to thank you very much for the complement to my knife cuts. I just read that today and it made my day! Thanks again and I wish you the best of luck! :)Clair
