SNB Report post Posted May 8, 2016 I'm getting back into leathercraft after a hiatus of a few years. I'm not "into" sheridan style (nothing wrong with it but it's not my taste). Are there other schools of style? I'm searching for ideas, tools, templates, etc.. I don't mind doing the flowers and western decor, especially as they do help develop skills,,but am looking for something that, for lack of a better term, excites me. Thanks!

TwinOaks Report post Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Welcome to Leatherworker.net! While floral design is one of the "traditional" forms seen on leather work, it is far from being the only style. There really is no set train of thought for what is "proper". A prime example would be some of Peter Main's work- there may be a floral element, but it is only a part of a much more encompassing style. There are more than a few folks that are doing pin up art, tribal, art deco, geometric, figures, combinations of a little of everything, and skulls. We mustn't forget the skulls! Find the subject you want to do, then simply do it on leather. Edited May 8, 2016 by TwinOaks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNB Report post Posted May 8, 2016 Thanks. It's amazing how much more material is out there than 15-20 years ago...the internet has certainly grown! This "net" is a trove of great stuff and I like browsing the samples of work. And, yes, I noticed that lots of people like skulls! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
