Verlane Desgrange Tutorials

[Bree]

I didn't see a thread with a complete set of Verlane's tutorials. I found a little website that had a bunch of them buried deep in the site. So I thought I might share it with those who are interested. She was quite wonderful for sharing her many techniques.

thanks Bree.. nice stuff

I haven't even had a chance to read them all. I have been very busy in training trying to keep my high paying IT job for a little while longer to finance my much lower paying but more fun job of making leather stuff!!

I first encountered her wisdom on Seigel's of California website some time ago. I like her a lot and it is a shame that she passed last year. I look forward to studying all of these tutorials myself!

VRocks!

Thanks Bree,

I am going to have to print out somne of this to keep in my handy dandy notebook on my bench. I try to have things readily available while I am working. I especially like the time sheet to help with pricing your work. I tink I will incorporate that into my pricing. You know, that is where most of us fall short.

Once again, thanks.

Yepper!! That one caught my eye too. I have lost plenty of $$$ doing free or underpriced work for people who really couldn't care less if I lose on the deal. I have become a much tougher nut to crack in my old age. Nevertheless, I can still be cracked and I know it. So anything that helps keep me focused on the right path relative to pricing and business is very very good.

There is a nice article in the new Leathercrafter's magazine about cash flow and accounting statements. Very good stuff.

Thanks for sharing! There's some really good info on there.

Thanks, Bree. Lots of good info there. I'm gonna bump this up to the boss and see we can link to it on the main page.

32mb of some of the handiest and complete set of tutorials I have come accross yet, Great find.

I would get this stickied, and or provide a link to all of them zipped in RAR files to make it easier to download the lot.

In my experience, stuff this good should be saved straight away, cause you never know when it will become unavailable.
