Leathercrafting Creations: PYC

[Obbigood]

A mid wallet, with Long horn concho snap and a thick heavy duty rein

Here's something a little different:

[corter]

sketchbook case and matching pencil case

also, I needed something to do with all my belt scrap, and I had way more than I could ever need for making bracelets, so I made my mom a sort of folk-arty american flag to hang over her fireplace. this is a phone picture, so it's not super clear, but it measures about 2 feet sq.- it was really fun to make!

I've been practicing a lot lately and made few things, but here's a shot of my belt and keychain. I have a background in construction and really like taking ideas from that in my projects. I'm also starting an apprenticeship with a leather craftsman very soon and can't wait to learn more.

totally random - but could someone send me a key they don't need anymore ? over here we only have nickel keys - looking for one brass key, similar shape to the one that's been posted above..just for kicks...

where'd you get that shackle? i dig it.

[zissou]

^marine supply stores have em. That's some serious key security Nice work, and post up some stuff from your apprenticeship when you get the chance.

[corter]

look on ebay as well, they're usually super expensive via marine stores vs. online

[f50fan]

Check your local hardware store. Lowe's has got em in a bunch of different sizes for cheap.

must take about half an hour to get that shackle undone to unlock the front door!

[nixon]

That's a badass flag, Corter. I can't even imagine how much scrap leather you have.

Haha, there's a snap on the leather! And like f50 said, you can buy those shackles at any good hardware store.

While we're on the subject of hardware, I thought some of you might be interested in this site (maybe it's been mentioned already?):

I've seen them at Lowe's as well.

Thanks mate!

I try to use as much of any hide as I can, but there's only so many uses for foot long strips of 1 1/2" 17oz leather haha. So I do end up having a lot of scrap, just try to make use of it with art projects or donating it to childrens programs in the area

Collaboration of BDD x OGL.

Using Benzak Denim Developers 14.5 oz signature selvage denim as inlay. With left and right wearer options.

Put in some great effort in detailing, handstitching and cutting.

Since Benzak release it officially on his website , might as well x-post here too.

Exposed selvage

I made this today for my son... he got a new cap pistol and needed a holster... plus I had some old scrap leather laying around.... not the best stitching, but not bad for as thick as that leather is. Should last him a long time. The belt was just an old one cut down for his waist.

My leathersmith making my wallet:

Man, that bench is even messier than mine.

Looks like the start of something good.

[corter]

all black e'rythang. 10x12, lots of copper, hand brushed hardware.

(hand dyed)

[corter]

haven't made many purses, so this was cool to make. Also the first handle I've done this style, which gave it a bunch more strength and shape.

[corter]

indigo stained leather (accident) that I made into some snap wallets, I'll get a picture in natural light tomorrow, the dripping is really beautiful

[beatle]

you could actually stain them a little more..like another dip...

From what I understand 2 were already sold as of 3 hours ago.

[Happy Hooligan]

I like them. It looks like there is writing on them....

[corter]

Thanks guys. If I had sort of set out to do it, I probably would have gone darker for sure, but this was truly just an accidental dripping. I really like how dimensional the stains are, since it was watered down there's some translucency to it and lots of overlapping/variations in the tones. Here's another picture in natural light, I guess it sort of explains a bit more clear

[knucks]

really wish these were on a different server so i can see

apparently my work blocks flickr

Been lurking for a bit now, nice to see cool people who are into leather crafting. These are a couple billfolds I've finished recently...

I made this for my daughter who lives in Bejing. I'm a little nervous about sending it as it seems only about half of what I ship seems to make it. Does anyone know if writing the address in English and Chinese makes a difference?
