SheilaOrikawaAtelier Report post 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.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handstitched Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
