The principle reason for this blog is as a catalogue of stuff for my own sake. Currently I tend to get interested in something at least once a week, look up all the information I can on it and then promptly forget most of it. So the idea is to use this site to catalogue some of my achievements as well as writing short articles on stuff that interests me. If someone else enjoys it at the same time then thats great.

So to begin with, here is some of the first bits and pieces I’ve made out of leather recently.

This one is a horse from a book by Al Stohlman which I did a while ago. I really like the simple design and it gave me a lot of confidence in using a modelling spoon.

This one is a flower from the same book and gave me some practice using other tools. I’m not hugely happy with the centre of it and could probably do it better now but haven’t got round to it just yet.
