Members michaelbeeman Posted July 10, 2009 Members Report Posted July 10, 2009 Hello all! I've just joined yesterday after lurking for a whole 30 minutes! Relative newcomer to leather working, as my only experience is a billfold I did back in Cub Scouts, some 35 yrs ago! I've picked up the Tandy Deluxe starter kit and am raring to go! I'll post projects as I do them (depending on the availability of a camera) so ya'll can critique them. My main interest is in Cordwaining, though I want to learn other aspects of leather work as well. Stylistically, I lean more towards Celtic, rather than floral or western, but I surely am impressed with ALL the work I see here. Ya'll are an inspiration. Keep it up!

Members KcKenny Posted July 10, 2009 Members Report Posted July 10, 2009 From one newbie to another, welcome! I see you're in Ft. Collins. Beautiful country up there, had a girlfriend move there a while back and I'd go visit a few times a year. It should provide you with plenty of inspiration for your work. ~Kenny Quote Thanks to all of the artists who are willing to share their experience.
Members michaelbeeman Posted July 10, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 10, 2009 Thanks Kenny for the welcome! Fort Collins really is beautiful and inspirational.

I also love working with Celtic Design in all it forms, especially the zoomorphics. Post some of your stuff so we can see.
