bruce johnson Report post Posted July 26, 2010 Like most everyone doing leatherwork, I get asked for donations and sure try to accommodate the ones that benefit people or groups I believe in. I normally give things from stock, but this spring I was asked about donating a custom rope can for another fundraiser. It worked out so well to donate a credit to be applied toward a can, I did it again for a college rodeo team fundraiser. Ends up it sold twice, and it was worth the trip to their fundraiser (Auction, silent auction, Ian Tyson concert, dance, and I am gald to report that college kids still party hearty). All three of the girls who bought these came up with challenging designs and I sure liked making them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtwister09 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 Bruce, You've been busy. When you said a skeleton a while back a dancing one wasn't what I was thinking . They should like them. Regards, Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted July 27, 2010 Actually the skeleton is multitasking. She sent me the rough graphics and instructions to make him a dancin', drinkin', shootin' skeleton. I really had a blast doing this one. It is a little out of my style repertoire until recently, but bring 'em now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted July 27, 2010 Very nice Bruce. I really like all of them, but; I especially like the last and how you created a circle with the silver flower buds and the rest of the pattern "grew" around it. Nicely done.
