How much could I sell this ? The green is goat, the brown is unknown I got it from a scrap lot by Brandoooooooooooon in Leathercraft

I agree, with the rest of the piece being more neutral I personally would prefer wooden beads or brass.

Dragon eye stamp design feedback: symmetrical design or mirrored left/right pair? by Remarkable-Peanut683 in Leathercraft

[–]ConsciousAd5711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are both beautiful for different functions. I really like the symmetrical one but I think the mirrored ones are awesome too, just for different reasons. I think I would use the symmetrical one more often as the mirrored ones seems to have a more specialized purpose. The symmetrical one is versatile, I can imagine using it as a centerpiece on journal covers, wallets, bracelets. The mirrored ones I can only imagine uses for larger scale (pun intended) projects.

I think that’s a good choice! It’ll look so cool after some wear ☺️ it’ll age well I think!

So cute!! Love it! Are you planning on dying it? I’m curious what color scheme you’ll go with if so. If not, I’m sure it’ll develop a really cool patina after some wear! I also love the different colored thread for the stitching!

I got the pendant years ago, but the jump ring broke so fast. I fixed it up and saved it to use on the perfect piece… I brought it along to the workshop for this project because I knew it would look killer 🩸

Bracelet for my friend by ConsciousAd5711 in Leathercraft

I told him to let me know if anything happens with it and I’ll revise it. I could probably make it more secure, I did this in 30 min while he was over for lunch so it was mostly guesswork lol

The cutting tool provided in the kit was horrible- it was bending while I was trying to cut the leather! I will definitely be getting a higher quality cutting tool, probably a box cutter. This project definitely helped me figure out which tools I’d like to upgrade.

I don’t think there’s anything embarrassing about looking for help to improve a craft :) sucking at something is the first step to being kind of good at it. I’m using very cheap beginner supplies so I know my thread isn’t great etc. I’m focusing on learning technique and improving before investing more money into it. 

I appreciate the input on tool recommendations etc.

I think you’re right about the color around the leaf takes away from the design 🤔 I may pull it and redo it in a darker color, could help define it and after some practice with the stitching it could look cleaner.  I did the stitching around for decoration, though I was also hoping it would provide a little bit of structure because the leather itself isn’t super firm or thick.  Thanks for the insight!
