Members SheilaOrikawaAtelier Posted July 18, 2021 Members Report Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Hello. I'm Sheila from Ticino, South Switzerland. I'm a beginner self-taught leather worker. I have a lot to learn, but I'm not afraid by mistakes. I hope to make some good courses as soon I can, for the moment here some of my works. I love to make bags: in the first picture the first one I made as gift for my mom. Now I'm working on my first prototype, almost finished. second picture: A small box and after some eyeglasses case I designed. At the end a keyring. all Giftes. All hand crafted, with the best veg tan leather from Tuscany. I made myself also my cardboard packaging. I hope you like them.

The hand print tag as fab! Hi Sheila, A belated response of an other Swiss fellow, working (now and then) with leather. You wrote in July 2021 that you are a beginner in leatherwork. However, the photos of your leatherwork that you share with us show an awesome ability, yes a proficiency of your leatherwork. I just dream to be able to do such great wor, indeed.. My true congratulations, and keep up the good work. Markus, the "leatherthresher", Switzerland. Quote

Hi, If I am concerned, no I have no leather relations with a person named Hans. Sorry that I can't help. Have a nice week-end. The "leatherthresher" from Switzerlan. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted January 16, 2022 Members Report Posted January 16, 2022 @SheilaOrikawaAtelier G'Day from Australia, I saw the beer bottle top key rings you made on another thread, do you use an adhesive on the backs of those or any sealer to prevent scratching? I too re-use beer cans & bottle tops and incorporate them into leather. Thanks, HS Quote
