It's been a long year, with an operation in April, then again in July I haven't been up to doing much, especially something strenuous like cutting and carving leather. So disappointingly I haven't done anything new for months.
However, once I heal up from this operation I have SO MANY new ideas to do that my sketch book is getting quite full.
I've taken some time this week to finally finish off the new website, so you can now buy my leatherwork via the website and paypal.
I have a new commission to undertake and the customer has been very specific on what he wants the design carved into his guitar strap. Which is great in a way as I haven't got to do too much on the design front, however if I dont achieve what he clearly has set in his mind, he maybe disappointed. Still will be nice to be able to get back to leatherworking, rather than knitting, which is all I have been capable of for the last few months.
Hurry up body and heal up!
Please have a nose round my website and see if there is anything that takes your fancy.

I am a bit late with announcing this, however since the 1st March my leatherwork has been on display in a shop called Three Little Pigs in Pershore.
The lovely owner Fiona, likes to stock goods from local suppliers, crafters and artists. The Three Little Pigs also runs workshop days and has a montly Artisits exhibition. Of which my work is the showcase for the month of March.
It was pretty exciting to walk past the shop one evening and see some of my work in the window. I know that a few pieces have already been sold, though obviously I was hoping to have everything sold out and orders as long as my arm.
Though I think I am quite fortunate that that hasn't happened, as my poor dog's operation though mostly successful, left him not very well sewn up. He is under my 24 hour supervision, which is restricting my activities alot.
I have lots of ideas that I want to get stuck into and a belt commission to start.
In the meantime, if you would like to see my leather work, there are plenty of handbags, wallets, belts and book covers on the website and in The Three Little Pigs in Pershore. Each time I go in there I am tempted by something, so lets hope more people are tempted by my work!http://www.threelittlepigsgiftshop.co.uk/
