francesca Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Hi, my Name is Fernanda, I am a musician and live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I´m here because the father of my best friend is a quality leather goods handcrafter and he asked me for some info regarding leather stuff in internet. I look forward to read more and hope to learn a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abn Report post Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Qué bueno que nos hayas encontrado, Fernanda. We love to welcome new members, and I may be mistaken, but I think you're our first Argentine. One link your friend's father may be interested in is Sojourner Leatherwork: http://sojournerleather.com/workbench/ This couple spent some time in Cafayate learning how to do "cincelado" stamping. They make really beautiful notebook covers using Argentine leatherwork as their inspiration. Welcome... It's great to have you here!
