Hello Everyone

Recommended Posts

Hope this works.

I've been wanting to share for a while now and finally decoded to do so. I have been woking mainly with what I call primitive leather for black powder related items. Just some things to keep my possibles and shooting bags full. 4 or 5 months ago while in a local leather factory, I decided to take a class in leathercrafting and have been happy since. I have made several holsters and decoritive bowls as well as class projects. I decided to share this bible cover with you. Yes I know the lacing is backwards. I might fix it or just leave it. Haven't decided yet. In any event.....I really enjoy my new found hobby.

Thanks,

I should mention that I used light brown Gel Antique that the Leather factory sells. It sure beats having to paint all the backgrounding. I placed the praying hands and the back cover thinking that I wouldn't be able to do a very good job. Now I wish I had placed them on the front. This is my first attempt at floral and I hope to get better. A craftaid was used for all the patterns. I hope to get good enough one day to design my own. Problem is I am NO artist. But I seem to be able to use a swivel knife with growing confidence.

Thanks for looking.

Nice work. Intricate but not too 'busy'. Post some more. I'd like to see the bowls. I've been wanting to do a plate or a bowl but need a little encouragement.
