Retswerb Report post Posted August 21, 2020 I’m curious how/where/to whom you trade them? I’d be interested in that circuit. These all look great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim linnell has a group on Facebook called leather artists trading cards. The way it works is you make up a card with tooling or stamping or whatever you want. Recommended size is 2.5 x 3.5 inches from 4/5oz (but this isn't a required dimension or size). The idea is to keep them relatively small. Once you have one for trade, you can post it saying it's up for grabs or you can ask a specific artist to trade. Final communication is done through pm on Facebook usually then you just send your card to the other person and they send you one of theirs. There are a lot of great people there already and some incredible work being traded. People even have their kids making and trading them which I think is awesome. And, beginners and experts are encouraged to trade with each other. Skill doesn't really matter, its about the community and keeping the craft alive and exciting. The cards make it real easy to collect other artists work too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is indeed. Apparently it isn't a new thing, but the group really brought it to life. Personally I haven't heard of it before. He is on there, rex goblet, I've seen Peter main, and a lot of other great artists. Definitely get in that group. And look me up 912 leathercraft Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
