Newbie Glad To Be Here

Hi

I found this forum today and I'm amazed by the amount of information found here.

I've only recently discovered that I am fascinated by leather craft, thanks to some Bruce Cheaney videos on leather tooling that I came across on YouTube. I've bought a small amount of basic materials but I opted for an easy project that didn't involve tooling as a first attempt. I made a small pattern based on a wallet he already had, the used 5 oz and 3 oz leather to make it with.

I'm making this wallet for my husband, just needs stitching now ( as soon as I've completed my stitching pony). Not in the least perfect , and I'm sure the 'shiny plastic' look isn't everyone's choice, but I'm quite pleased with it up until now.

I am very eager to learn more thanks to your help!

Btw I'm from the UK but I live in Italy, married female hitting 50 this year

Welcome! Nice examples of work, and there are a number of styles out there. If you like it and he likes it, don't bother with other people's reactions. There are a few areas where convention makes sense but lots of room to express yourself. Again, welcome, I love this forum too.
