| John | Projects | Leatherwork |
I made armor in high school and college, but only since Alece gave me the tools have I been engaged in leatherwork proper. I really enjoy it. Here's some of the stuff I've made: |
 My present wallet - this was my first one. It works well, and I was in dire need of a replacement for my old one. You know how it goes. This is from a Tandy Craftaid, which, though not cheap, are great kits for when you're starting out.
|
 Another wallet. This one's scratchbuilt for Andrew and features artwork from an album he enjoys. You probably recognize it as Andy Warhol, but don't be fooled, I carved it myself. |
 This is, you know, a coaster. Yeah, I didn't think I'd ever need a coaster either, but grown-up furniture actually necessitates the use of these things. You'll probably feel dumb buying them at the store, so you may as well make them yourself. |
 This one's also a coaster. Sometimes it's all the way over there, but you're thirsty on the other side of the room. Solution? Have a spare lined up beforehand. |
 "Texas Holdem Dealer Button One of Three" is precisely the same size as a coaster but far more suited to marking the designated dealer in a game of Hold'em. |
 "Texas Holdem Dealer Button Two of Three" has more of a Western feel to it. |
 "Texas Holdem Dealer Button Three of Three" features Tirade wearing a dealer's visor. Don't fuck with Tirade. |
 This "Green Thing" is too large to be a coaster, so we stick it under a medium-sized bowl instead. It was good practice for carving and dyeing for me, though. |
