Well its 2012 and its HOT!!
We have sweltered through our 2nd day of 40 + Degrees (Celcius) and in a strange way being stuck inside in front of an air conditioner has been good for my leather working. While its been hard to work with the leather as it dries out quickly and the glue/dye seems to take longer to set in the heat, I have found myself for the first time improvising on the patterns included in the leather craft kits from Tandy Leather Factory. Todays project has been a Magnetic money clip. When I traced out the original flower pattern I altered it to include my Initials (L&T) and a stamp that i will be using on all of my projects that identifies me as the craftsman.....a little like a painter signing their artwork. I used the same technique to finish this project as the ID card wallet created previously...I really like the effect as it highlights the stamping and patterns created in the process.
