Elom Report post Posted August 1, 2018 Hello, My name is Elvis ( believe it or not ), already 31 years on this gorgeous planet, originally from Slovenia, but at 24 I have moved to Austria, and at 29 I have moved to Germany, what Is my next stop I have no clue. I have recently started to pay attention to how things are done out of beautiful material called leather. Mostly what interests me are wallets, bags, knife sheets, belts and other smaller accessories and all those details that makes a leather product stand out. I am definitely eager to learn and with years of practices to come to the point when I can say, I am happy with what I have created, until then I am not stopping. So far I have "created": - 2 wallets - 2 keychains - 1 smaller belt bag - 1 smartphone bag that was renamed to miscellaneous product since smartphone did not fit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NVLeatherWorx Report post Posted September 9, 2018 Welcome to the wonderful world of leatherwork and the forums that provide for more inspiration than any book does. I know the Passau region as I was in the Nuernberg area for 14 years (81 to 95, and yes, I speak the language too) before I was reassigned to the United States. Your work is pretty darn good for a newcomer and it will definitely improve as you continue to absorb new information and guidance from these forums. Looking forward to seeing more work as you progress and most of us are pretty open to direct contact as well if you feel the need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
