What Did You Do With Leather, Today.

[DoubleC]

Today I finished my dog Skadi's collar and did an inlaid eye. It took me two days to do the collar because I kept using her old one to measure things with and she kept wanting it back. On the inlaid eye things went pretty good except my 15-91 got away from me as you'll see. Baby's got a LONG learning curve!!!! But was a fun day. Cheryl

Did a bit of pyrographic art on wall hanging 5/6 oz leather. Pleasant day.

I think I will visit Luke and learn some tricks from him...............and I like his work ethic!! Save a beer for me!!

I have been making a case for my iPad.....got the resist on and will antique it tomorrow!! Then will see if I still remember how to lace.......

Today I made a checkbook cover from scratch, used pigskin for the liner and pockets. Tomorrow I'll lace it up and take another picture of tomorrow's work. This retirement thing is tough, my problem with being retired is I don't know when I'm done each day and I found out I don't get holidays off anymore. I was thinking I would have to report back to work on holidays since my job now is to be retired.

I am a day late, but I was tired last night.

I taught a basketweave class at Tandy yesterday.

Wow all cool stuff. Didn't get to see the pyro but Luke your handle is cool, and I'm on my way with Mike and I'll even bring a few beers. Aaron that is so cool that you're teaching at TLF. I don't do anything worth teaching YET and don't have a TLF here but have offered to do a very basic class at the local MH facility across the street using some kind of Tandy kits for the people that sign up. Everyone had good days as did I. Always it seems like when leather is involved! Cheryl

Chief I'm sorry I just got up and forgot your beautiful wallet. I started a checkbook cover before I went to sleep, and I am on disability so I know what you mean when you forget to take any days off, they do start running together.

Thanks DoubleC,

This is the finished checkbook, I finished it in the shop today.

That's gorgeous. My checkbook cover I'm working on needs serious help which a friend is going to do tonight. I found a horse pic online that had a pretty easy outline to cut out because I want to do another inlay for more practice. Outline, true enough but I didn't think about the negative space and my horse looks crippled at best. I was going to sand the cut marks now it's completely dry but going to wait and see exactly what my friend suggests tonight before I touch another thing
