Rocksnake Report post Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Hello, I'm from China. My English is not good, so I have to use translation software. There may be a syntax error. I'm sorry. I am an amateur cobbler, and these are my works. Welcome to communicate Edited August 5, 2021 by Rocksnake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJole Report post Posted August 5, 2021 Very nice work! I'm curious -- all the tooled pieces you show are the Western floral style. Do you have any that use Chinese motifs and design? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheilajeanne Report post Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) "Western floral style" You will usually see this called 'Sheridan style". Excellent work! So, the Chinese like this style, and this what they prefer to buy? Would also like to see some Chinese patterns. Maybe North Americans and Europeans will buy those! I think dragons would look good on leather - you could maybe combine the two styles! Edited August 6, 2021 by Sheilajeanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll do some of that when I'm done, but I haven't found any sales channels in North America or Europe yet. I might need your help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schick Report post Posted September 7, 2021 Wow. The work you have created is simply beautiful. It is really nice to see people from different countries share a common passion such as leatherwork. I think China is amazing and hope to visit your country one day, before I get too old. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
