Frodo Report post Posted March 20, 2023 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!!!!!!!!!

Gezzer Report post Posted April 5, 2023 Well , Chuck's roses inspired me to try this but I am almost afraid to post it after todays discussion on copying others ideas ( but I did make my own pattern from scratch ) Nowhere in the same ballpark as Chuck's but it's a start . I think that brown stuff is dried dip that I didn't see before I took the pics....... Please excuse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
