Leather Wall Artwork

[Tala1276]

Hi, my name is Tanya Watson,

From time to time I make real leather artwork and would like to know your point of view on them

I have recently visited The Glasgow School of Art here in Scotland and have been inspired by everything I saw there.

Here are the pictures of the 2 things I have created under the influence of that visit and I hope to make more of these

Would really appreciate your comments and any constructive critique or questions.

I would call it "My Macintosh roses"

Tanya, very interesting images.Do you do them with suede or coloured chrome tanned leather? When I look in my scrap bin I can see a gallery full of artwork however my brain is not capable of 'seeing' the finished object. I am like many leatherworkers - an craftsman not an artist. It is a refreshing change to see another way to use leather. Keep at it.

Hi, BJ!

Thanks for your quick response

I will try and explain how I do these things

I use leather from the leather jackets and coats that people do not wear any more

I buy leather in charity shops and use it as it is mostly quite thin and soft-ish and you can do a lot of from it and sometimes I can even skive it sometimes

I also make jewellery from leather and gemstones .. I can show you some photos too on my blog

Let me know if u wanna see them

So I just take an old coat and cut it in pieces and use them in my work

I do not use any paint or dye as I use only the colours available ( and I have collected quite a bit of those and so there is a lot to choose from)

and it is probably the type you described - chrome ......

Hi Tanya

Great adaptation of Makintosh's rosesto leatherwork !!

Recognised them imediately - the Mackintosh's painted and designed in the village next to ours - Port Vendres - in France for some time before they returned to Glasgow.

Margaret Mackintosh painted scenes that remind me a bit of the famous "Sheridan Lady" on this site.

Keep it up they are beautiful !!
