My First Week..

[VanDutch]

Hey guys.

Just started making a few things to start me off and this is my first weeks effort. Here are some photos of an Iphone case, slim wallet and business card case. I used 2mm & 1.6mm veg tanned. Stain is Fielbling's Antique Tan. I wanted to create items that looked aged so purposefully wasn't concerned with a perfect even finish.

I am well aware of my little mistakes such as uneveness of the lettering etc.. I expect to make heaps of mistakes and learn from them...

Apologise in advance of the poor photo quality.

cheers

You're off to a great start.

I agree. Some room for refinement, but that comes with time.

With a name like Van Dutch I expect to see some pinstriping on some work!

I would never show my first projects, they look like a five year old did them. But I keep them as reminders

Very good result for your first efforts, really like the colour. Being aware of your own mistakes means you will be able/willing to correct them next time.

I'm with WScott - nobody will see my early attempts

[VanDutch]

thanks for the feedback. Always room for improvement. Learning new things with every attempt.

I very much like the "aged/unrefined" look (as you can see on my first projects that I just posted). Nice work!
