Greetings

[Bob Blea]

Hello all,

I've been on the site for a while now and I though I ought to introduce myself and post a few pictures. I've only been a leather crafter for about two years now, and still have a lot to learn. I am very grateful for all the information members have posted on this site. My wife introduced me to leather carving. She had learned from her mom, and I tried it a couple of years ago and found I really enjoyed it. I've made several projects this year, mostly items for friends and family.

The item below is a notebook cover designed to slip over a 5x7 spiral notebook. I made it for a charity ebay auction. The leather was probably a little too thin and the cover is more flexible than I would like, but I like the two tone antique effect (which I picked up from a posting here.)

Thanks all for sharing your experience and knowledge,

Bob

Welcome to Leatherworker.net, Bob! Dang, very nice notebook cover.........that basket on the back cover is just about as good as it gets. Ya also did a fantastic job on the antiquing....something I still work on (but don't worry 'bout me....I've almost convinced myself to give up on it again).

Thank you, you are very kind. As for the antiquing, I have to credit my wife Crystal for teaching me on that.
