Just a quickie, I'm on the phone...

Just thought I'd do a quick update from my iPhone to proudly show off a few pics of my first leather working attempt.

Looks fab, well done - not surprised you're feeling pleased with it :) x

Thanks :)

Pretty!

Do you work in vegetarian alternatives as well (assuming there are some!) or just leather?

[crankst_girl]

I've only just started so haven't really thought about it. But now that you've brought it to my consciousness I'm sure it's something I'll explore. :)

Looks good to me! Also looks like you'd need to be pretty strong to do all that leather work.

Thanks! I'm using quite thin leather at the moment so it doesn't require too much strength. I think for the thicker pieces I'll have to get as much precut as possible. The one thing I did struggling with is hammering the hole punches and the rivet setters. I seem to have lost some of my hand-eye coordination and kept hitting my thumbs. Hopefully that should improve with practice though. :)
