serena Report post Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Hello my name is Serena, and I own an operate Lady Serena's Chainmaille & Leather Works. I make leather roses and pouches and do fix it jobs on the side. I love working with leather and do plan on expanding my products beyond leather roses and pouches, as my plan is to learn more about wet forming and tooling leather, and other leather working stuff like saddle making and making clothes. My husband and I also own a coffee shop in Virginia MN, so my time for now is split between both stores and learning what I can during my down times. May I say that everyones projects here are awesome and I'm also learning alot from everyone here, so a Big Thanks from me to you.

serena Report post Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) If you would like to see some of my work you can go to my website at www.ladyserenas.us I have the roses and pouches there and I do have a gallery page. I'm going to try and post a couple of pictures of the pouches that I have made, I don't have any pictures of the roses besides what is on my site and I'm not computer savy enought to pull them off of there and post them here. Sorry. Well I hope this works. Both designs are burnt into the leather and then painted with cova colors from Tandy. The pirate pouch was dyed black first and then the design was added.

Tpsorion Report post Posted July 23, 2008 If you would like to see some of my work you can go to my website at www.ladyseranas.us Nice site, thanks for sharing the pics. Nice work. I think there is a typo in the address above. I changed the spelling to match your leatherworker ID and it worked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
