Riem Report post Posted October 28, 2018 I value my mistakes. It's the only things I can truly call my own. Point is, if you can recognise it as a mistake, you can work at correcting it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Gengado, At four months, most of us were still trying to figure out which end of the tool to hold. Your wallet is functional sound and it looks well made. You lack experience with making things out of leather, and in this craft, mistakes equal experience. Unless you have a mentor showing you how to do things, it all comes down to trying something, and in that regard you're already way ahead of folks who read a lot but never try anything. Each time you make something, whether it has mistakes or not, you learn how to or how not to do it in the future. People who are masters of the craft have made all the same mistakes and a thousand more. As mentioned above, learning how to hide them is key. Eventually, you'll have enough experience to know how to avoid mistakes MOST of the time. Nice work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sombrero Report post Posted November 13, 2018 You're not alone, Gengado. I have a box full of unused scrap of leather that I used to practice. 3 out of 4 leather that I bought ends up in that box, and I've only learned for about 6 months. Mastery takes time.
