justme Report post Posted June 30, 2009 I thought I would introduce myself. I just posted a question in another section. I found this site while searching for Leather forums because I am trying to make a wrist band for a friend and have never worked with leather before. I belong to a rockhounding forum and create pendants from polished stones. I thought that a wristband combining stones and leather would be fun and an opportunity to learn a new craft. This forum looks great with a wealth of information and wonderful people. So it's justme saying hi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted June 30, 2009 Welcome to the board, justme! Rockhounds are welcome, that's for sure. Stones, cabachons, etc, all go very well with leather. Personally, I like stones and leather a lot. Look forward to pictures of your projects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it's justme saying hi. Hello Justme, I am a rockhound from waaaaaaayyyyyyy back, and will never outgrow it! We've been incorporating stones and leather for a while, altho not on a large scale, and it goes over really well with our customers. It's sort of a leather version of wire wrapping. I've also got a picture that I'll try to post monday that I'm thinking might blow you away. If I forget, remind me!
