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 

They are very nice.       At least you made some. I'm too much of a coward to even try

I don't even know where to start on these. 

I do have some nice raspberry red thick chrome tan which might work, but I dunno

we learn form each other , that's what life is about in a healthy thriving society. there is nothing except maybe walking that we haven't learned from others. I learned from you how to make a desk top leather picture, that is so cool you even put in the corners and i will copy it at some point I'm sure but i will give you any and all credit.

@Frodo While not coasters, these are fridge magnets.  I have done a better job on carving roses before.  Challenge fulfilled  

Mothers Day , Australia is May 14, this Sunday.  So it will  be either a roast, ( depending on the price of meat)  or a pizza , washed down with  champers with a fancy ice cream cake ........thingy . 

[Gezzer]

@Handstitched Very nice ! Sounds like you will eat good  whatever the price of meat .

Never mind the ECG tag, I'm wondering why he has a piece of rusty barbed wire on his bench??  Hope your tetanus booster is up to date, Chuck! 

Very nice work on the roses!

Thank you very much , quite enjoy  carving roses . Some are better than others . Just like horses, I'll do one and it looks great, do another and it looks not as good as the first. Practice practice...

Really like chucks roses too
