  10. Mother’s Day is around the corner so I challenge all of you leather workers to make a rose for your Mom. Or who you call Mom, if you do not have a Mom then make a rose for a special person in your life No rules, make it anyway that you want, It does not have to be a traditional rose it is what ever your interpretation of a rose is This is for fun, I gave you an idea, run with it and post your results here lets see some beautiful art work!!!!!!!!!
  11. Back on track in all honesty, I have only used a weight to hold my pattern a few times I hold it down with my hand or hand and arm i have used regular cheapest you can buy masking tape, I do this for 2 reasons it works and it keeps my leather from stretching out and being “off” makes it easier to see a line to cut . I do not work on the finished side, I mark and cut on the back side
