you might add a few well done/close up fotos of some really fine examples of your work and products. I have been following this and pretending that I just "stopped by" this forum, and haven't seen anything that I felt is "up to par" with what I can buy at a feed store or local tack shop.

I know that you are working on your craft as I have been monitoring your horse eye project, but you need to spend a lot more time developing your leather talents - get to be REALLY good at what you want to sell and it will sell itself.

Maybe do a few pieces with carving and antique work and submit it here for critique. I haven't seen anything yet that shows your capabilities and talent.

I sell a fair amount of binders, albums, and wallets and belts a month an still am not happy with my work when I REALLY look at it!

NOT trying to be critical- I just haven't seen anything yet from you.

Not taken as critical but critique. The reason all you're seeing right now are these is because that's what my VOW counselor and BROC want me to focus on. Something i can do quick and almost perfect.....I don't think my eyes are perfect but a lot better. Let me show you what i did in my first 10 days with help from this forum . I've only shown this to one other person and it was by PM, but this is where I started once I realized I didn't know squat. Thanks Pete.

Sorry, last one I did on a wallet for myself that I was going to have to waste the leather, didn't work for another project.

if you have not applied for or received thw Trademark for " Eye of the Horse", don't state it. The actual carving can only be claimed as a Trademark if submitted. The name has to be submitted on a separate form. Don't open yourself up for potential liabilities. As for the brochure, keep it simple and to the point. Here is what I do and here is how to get it.

Thanks Bluesman, I'm getting a lot of help doing that, and I intend to register the eye. Cheryl
