Members edd Posted October 17, 2013 Members Report Posted October 17, 2013 Really nice work! The goatskin looks great. I've been working on a similar style of padded strap so I can concur, the level of concentration needed when working on something this delicate is really quite challenging as the smallest of imperfections end up looking really exaggerated. Looks like you're really perfecting your technique. The knack with little fiddly things is to go slowly - dont rush complicated things and they arent that complicated on the whole. The art is in doing things in the right order and then not spoiling what youve already done by going at it hammer and tongs, imho at least I absolutely agree. Making an ordered list of each process is the only way I can stop myself from rushing ahead, then having to back-track and ultimately making a mess. Look forward to seeing more of your work Quote

Look forward to seeing more of your work Thank you - I work hard on making each one of something better than the last one I made and my own philosophy is that perfection is an unatainable goal, you always can and should do better. I am not a patient person so I struggle with not rushing! Charlie Quote

Members Eemo Posted November 11, 2013 Members Report Posted November 11, 2013 May I ask, where do you buy your leather? Quote
Members cjmt Posted November 11, 2013 Author Members Report Posted November 11, 2013 Depends which leather, but generally direct from the tannery. We also buy via Abbey in the uk Quote
