Hello From Georgia

[Inish89]

I'm Tiffany from Georgia.  I'm new to leather working, and am interested in gaining more knowledge.

I eventually wish to get a leather sewing machine, but I'm trying to learn tooling now.

Here is my first piece, ugly as it is; at least it's a first step.

 

I'm definitely going to be on the look-out for how-to books and scrap leather and pieces that I can practice on.

Is that going to be a cuff?

[Inish89]

It actually fits me as a bracer.

Very nice work. Are you going to add more beveling or dye?

Welcome to the site, nice to have a fellow Georgian on here.  There are a few others here from Georgia as well. I'm in south Georgia most of the others are up around the Atlanta area.

I'm going to do more beveling. I've just been a little head-shy about it; worried that I'll mess it up.  I would love to dye it, but all I have at the moment is black.  The local (-ish) store doesn't have anything else, so I'll have to order it off-line.

I'm actually in Middle Georgia, half-way between Atlanta and Macon.

Hi Tiffany, welcome to the forum - I'm from Smyrna, GA, right above Atlanta.
