Johanna Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Claudia- where are in Georgia are you? Are you a Georgia Leathercrafter yet? They are some great people! Neil Cowan is the president now. If you need more contact info, let me know. I had the pleasure of living in Macon for five years, and with the Ohio winter setting in, I miss Georgia more than ever. Thanks for sharing pics of your work. Are you sure you are "new" at this? You certainly have an eye for leatherwork! Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
