As much as I love making belts and cuffs and dog collars and all other things out of leather, I wanted to see if I could do something else. I’ve seen so many great masks and other sculptures that I really wanted to see if I could do it myself. But I had to try to keep it relevant to the rest of the business to keep myself from getting too distracted, so I thought I would try to make a flower. Something that could be attached in clusters to headbands or pony-tail elastics or even little barrettes. Now I was excited.
I took a trip over to my favorite Leather shop and had a little chat with my buddy, Tony. I was expecting him to try to sell me something or show me a book that I had to buy but instead he emailed me a copy of directions and made a copy of them for me. (Tony – YOU’RE AWESOME).
Next step was to buy the leather I needed to try it. So I did. And I tried it. And it actually came out pretty neat! It’ll get better with practice, of course. So the next step is to work on the dying process and figure out how to attach them to things. But it shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe.
The rose that would last forever
