I appreciate that. I too have seen so many awesome inspiring things that others have created.

Yeah its a nice change to not have to worry about the edges for sure. Thank you for your compliments.

Thank you so much. Even though I love all kinds of leatherwork it is refreshing to do something different, and I love the fact that there really isn't anything you can't do when working with leather. I will definitely keep posting my progress. You Sailboat sound really cool. Do you have any pictures of it I would love to see it.

Hey thank you so much. That means so much. My very first 3D leather sculpture I did was a baby grand piano.

Thank you Thank you so much. Yeah it was tough to get through it got a little repetitive.

Right now I am tooling it to look like old wood slats. It's only going on the one side, (I'm keeping it three walls only.) I'm thinking about putting a strip that is one wood slat wide on the other side just for the effect of it. I will probably do some log looking trusses. This will be a two story cabin with the second story a loft.

It is just tacky glue. I grooved out the lines and filled them in with glue and after it dried I coated the whole thing it in X-1 Leather dressing. So it is not as white now that its all said and done but it gave it just enough difference to give it the look I was going for.

Thank you. Yeah my goal is to get it to look as realistic as possible. This will definitely be a long term project. Hey thanks so much immiketoo.

You did a really nice job on this. Very cool.

So I started this project about a year ago and have recently picked it back up again. I am working on making, (I'll be fair and say 90%) leather log cabin. I am in the very beginning stages but thought I would share my process with you. So I will periodically post new pictures as the project progresses. I have been pretty excited about this and I am having fun trying to figure things out as I go. So right now I have a floor, 3 walls, the start of the roof, one working window and a door with (yes) metal hinges ( the only non-leather material so far., the door is not actually attached as of yet. So in the picture with the door in place,.. it is just kind of sitting in there.

I really like the wallet. You did an amazing job.

Thank you

Hello everyone. I was on this site once upon a time when I was new to leatherworking. I was part of a couple leather guilds, was going to conventions, had myself set up on different forums and sites.....Then I started a new job working at a library went to college to promote myself to a better position at the library and I became overwhelmed, couldn't keep up with everything and though I kept creating, it wasn't as much, at least not for myself, It was more for the art and craft classes I started teaching at the library I work at. But I really started to miss working on the things that I wanted to, not just the things for work. So after I was done with school I started setting time for me to create the things I want as well as taking on custom orders again. Which I truly love to do as it really challenges me. So yeah..... I am back at it and love it. If you want to check out my stuff I do have some stuff on Artwanted.com/LeatherPlusArtGalore though I do feel like some of the stuff really doesn't fit for that site. I am toying with setting up a website of my own. I do also have a facebook page (Leather Plus Art Galore). So I look forward to be being back on here and getting to know you all, sharing my work and receiving any feed back you may have.

Wow. You did a great job.

I really like that. It came out really good.
