A Message from Billy 2-shews

Johanna,

Glad to hear that he is there.

Amen to the Assassin. Billy loved that thing even though it tore up his tools.

Regards,

I'm happy he's back with his family and that he can pass his expertise down the line.

Johanna, you should revive this thread every 3 - 6 months. I'm sure the newer folks would be interested. I know I was right away.

I can't wait to get started.

Thanks

Does Billy's technique for coloring leather work on veg tan that you can case and shape after coloring?

Thanks

[Johanna]

Short answer- yes. Look here for some of his ideas:

Billy and Mary are 2 amazing people. It's hard to believe her paintings look so much like real pictures. They were both given a gift of talent that most of us can only dream about.

Wishing you and your family the best.

Thank you Billy for all the wonderful art and inspiration. I hope sincerely that you can recover as best as is possible.

You did a cameo that completely blew me away. I am sure you have heard the term "blown away" in reference to your work.

I have never met you, and sadly probably never will, again thank you and I wish you the best from here on out.
