Members HappyViking Posted October 8, 2009 Author Members Report Posted October 8, 2009 Thank you very much Jim. That pattern is beautiful! Do you have a website of your stuff? I would especially like to look at other Celtic works. I don't like to copy other people's things but always love the inspiration it gives me. I have almost finished another bag - only the clasp is holding me up. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out and will post a picture of it when it's finished. Hope to chat to you again. Elizabeth Also, thanks Jim for showing me another good leather site! Quote
Members JDRamsey Posted October 13, 2009 Members Report Posted October 13, 2009 Happy Viking, You're welcome. I like the work you have on your site and thought thatthat pattern would be a nice addition to your product offering. I donot, however, have a site of my own. I was hooked on leather toolingin 2006 when wanting to make a sporran of my own. In March, I starteda small business (very small) and have been doing leather work on apart time basis. My work was liked by the right folks, and at thistime we are in the middle of an order for 50 day sporrans for a localpipe band (my wife, Brenda, got involved so we could make betterprogress). I'm happy that they are not in a rush to get them all atonce. Here are a few more URLs. You may have these, or maybe not. https://www.siegelofca.com/default.asp http://www.barrykingtools.com/index.htm http://www.ramsskullpress.com/ http://www.nmia.com/~rqpltd/ This one is Raymond's Quiet Press, a medieval hardware smithy. Pretty interesting. http://www.leathercordusa.com/ http://www.leathercraftersjournal.com/index.html This is a sampling of some of the sites I have bookmarked in my favorites. I have nothing to gain by promoting any of these businesses. Hope one or more of them will be of use to you. Take care. Jim Also, thanks Jim for showing me another good leather site! Quote
Members JDRamsey Posted October 13, 2009 Members Report Posted October 13, 2009 Here is a sample of more recent work I did which is attached. This is a modification of a hunting pouch pattern by Rene Berends that I made into a purse for a friend's wife. Jim Happy Viking, You're welcome.
