A Couple Of Wallets

I just made these projects, since I've retired I'm gonna dedicate my time to the leather shop and see if I can't start getting better.

Really nice work, Ken. I'm with Wiz. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work, especially now that you have time to really dedicate to it.

Nice! The only critique I have is to scale the horseshoe and head down just a little so it doesn't run over the fold.

I just did the same horse head a couple times recently. The first for practice, the next on the inside of a leather binder. After I did the first one, I went out to a ranch and photographed my grand daughter with several horses. Made sure to get a few shots of the same profile as the pattern. Then fixed the mane, fore lock between the ears, and the nostril. My practice run nostril was too high, too far above the upper lip.

I guess the one thing I learned is to look at the real thing or some good photos, then make sure my pattern (especially after it is traced on to the leather) has the right proportions.

Keep up the good work.
