Well, hello there! So as my last blog post suggested I was going to change the look of my vintage shop a bit (stone wall background in my photos???). Well... being the Gemini that I am, I changed my mind =). Now I'm feeling out the red suitcase background ...any feedback? (click on my vintage shop link to your right).
Other than that I've been doing a little leather work lately and it feels good. After the holiday rush I focused so much on my vintage shop that the leather stuff went on the back burner. I'm making this leather sheath right now for a customer and I wanted to share the process with you.
The first photo is obviously the raw leather before I stained and assembled the sheath. I wanted to show that photo because I get asked a lot how the leather looks before I paint/stain it. This is a custom piece that I'm about 90% done with now. I just have to finish stitching up the outer edges with the thread and needle shown, wah-lah! All done.
Now that I'm back in the groove with my leather work again, I really want to make a few purses to sell in my shop. It's been a while since I've made a purse, (mostly because they are time consuming projects) but I have some cool ideas that are NEEDING to take form. So, I'll keep you posted.
Happy Wednesday,
-Becky
