Two cities
Two Rivers
One ocean dividing
Two marathons bringing together

The third and last of the Viking themed leather sculpture art. Leather canvas. #art #leathercrafting #leather #runes #viking #artist

Leather roses. Made from a pre-cut kit from Tandy Leather. Airbrushed and assembled took more time than expected. #leather #kitproject #art

Latest. Viking shield in leather on leather canvas. Goes with rune arrow tip. Gonna make a third in this theme then move on. #leather #art #artist #leathercrafting #viking #runes #abstract

Another barrette. #art #leather #leathercrafing #artist

Made a hair barrette for my niece. It's her birthday. I made a temporary tattoo and sealed it to the leather. #art #leathercrafting #hair #barrette #leather #temporytattoo #tattoo #artist #fashion #hairfashion

Lastest project done. Large example of arrowhead necklace I just did. Not sure why but when inspiration calls you follow. 8x8 inch frame. #art #leather #leathercrafting #artist #viking #runes

Not my design. But I saw this and thought. I can make that. Mine is slightly different than the original. #art #jewelry #leathercrafting #leather

Still just working the basics trying to find inspiration for my next project. 🤔

This project is done. Temporary tattoos on dyed leather and leather canvas. Sewn together. Mistakes were made but that's how you learn. #art #artist #leathercrafting #leather #tattoo

These "imperfections" in a piece of Veg Tan leather are the best for adding character and texture to my projects. This is the canvas for my current project. It's recently oiled (neets foot) and drying. #art #artist #leather #leathercrafting

Latest project done. Temporary tattoos on dyed/airbrushed leather sewn to dyed leather canvas. Hard to take pictures with it under the glass. #art #artist #leathercrafting #leather

Made a knife sheath for a coworker friend. I generally prefer to make fine art projects nowadays. But go back to the basics now and then. Especially if it's a gift of some kind. #leathercrafting #leather
