Contributing Member Jordan Posted August 2, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted August 2, 2008 Last saturday depleted most of my wristbands so I set about making a few today one was special order the others from customer input, hope they sell tomorrow. Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted August 2, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted August 2, 2008 I think the Peace Sign ones are Great! Good luck tomorrow. I hope you sell them all, and then have to make twice as many right there at the show. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted August 2, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 2, 2008 Thanks, I do need to find my pattern for a hair thingy shaped like a peace sign and uses a cuticle stick to hold it in place. If I was any good at skulls they would sell. Quote
Members LarryB Posted August 2, 2008 Members Report Posted August 2, 2008 Maybe some matching wrist bands and billfolds?? I have found what will sell one day the next day no one will look at. So you never know....or I don't. Hope you do great Sat. Nice looking items. Quote
Members Spider Posted August 2, 2008 Members Report Posted August 2, 2008 Jordan I use the ovals from Tandy and I draw my skulls on them and then punch holes on the ends for the stick. Which Tandy sells too. Quote
TomSwede Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Those look great Jordan! I really dig the green one with the skull and Germanic crosses. Is the skull that new craftools punch or have I dreamt that they put such a punch out?? Do you also dream about making things in leather? Tom Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted August 2, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 2, 2008 It is a tandy stamp, part of their biker series Skull with an Iron cross in the background, it is a little difficult to get a good impression, gotta smack it real good without moving it. Some day I will get me an arbor press for those bigger stamps. No leather dreams yet, unless you count the ones I would have to list in the adult section They all sold today in the 1st couple of hours and I got some orders for more next saturday. Quote
carr52 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 I really like those. I'm gonna try making a few. Is there one size that seems to be more popular than others? 1" or 1 1/2"? Tom Quote
Bree Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 The 60's won't die as long as we refuse to leave them! Peace! Nice job! Quote
Randyc Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) I really like those. I'm gonna try making a few. Is there one size that seems to be more popular than others? 1" or 1 1/2"? Tom Ya Jordan, what size is poplar? BTW, your work never ceases to amaze me! Randy Edited August 13, 2008 by Randyc Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted August 13, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks much, 1&1/2 to 2 inch seems to be the width and double snaps sell better than grommet and thong ties, sold out again, could be the $8.00 price or nostalgia. Time and my cost is very little as usually the leather is scrap from other projects and maybe an hour to make one excluding drying time. I am getting a little tired (Bored) of the smaller items and look forward to more challenging projects. I just got a new beach cruiser bike and it will be a testbed for some new ideas for bags and such, and excersize too, I had forgotten how much fun riding a bike was, maybe I can write it off as a business expense.

Members BradB Posted August 13, 2008 Members Report Posted August 13, 2008 Those look great! I was wondering what size was popular. Quote

Oh you still have such dreams!!! and I thought I was younger than you Thanks for the info on the stamps. I prolly should surf around their site more often but this place is waaaay cooler, especially those donuts laying around here, I think they might be responsible for some really funny dreams of mine Congrats on the selling!

ArtS Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 Those should go fast! They look great. ArtS Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted August 17, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 17, 2008 They all sold again, in spite of a wind disaster yesterday, gusts of 35-40 broke more slats of my canopy and it collapsed around me. Must have quite a sight. Guess I will be busy making more oak slats to fix it, no way am I spending more than I have to, luckily I am a jack of all trade and master of a few! Quote
