KittenThrasher Report post Posted January 29, 2018 I've been posting on these forums for a little while now and thought it was about time I put up some of my own work so you can see I do actually make things and not just talk about it!! Attached are a few pictures of stuff I've been making recently, I like working with veg tan, I use spray and airbrush for dying, (both cheapo chinese varieties which work surprisingly well for less than $20 a pop) I enjoy stitching with a good film on netflix or Amazon or something. I am always looking for a better way to do things, usually nothing much comes of it but sometimes you just hit a bit of a gem of an idea. I posted a new thread today talking about my favourite design software - QCAD - the items in the pictures were drawn up on qcad and the templates/patterns (what's the difference by the way?) were laminated print outs as per my thread. The purses I was playing with trying out different ways of stitching, edging and finishing. I also make my own knives and as many of my other tools as I can, I thought initially I'd save money making my own tools but I definately haven't, quite the opposite. That's it for now! Have fun.

All my friends and family have crappy versions of leather creations that I have pawned off on them in the guise of "please wear this out and let me know what I should do different" simply because I had a hard time throwing something away that I spent time and $$ on. And because the rubbish bin was full of the previous efforts and I didn't feel like taking it out to the curb just yet. I like your designs, they are clean and look very functional! Craftsmanship looks nice too! YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
