Each leather item I create is designed with your input to meet your needs and preferences. This requires that I spend time finding out what you would like, how it will be used, what decoration you would like, what colors you prefer, etc. I am happy to communicate via phone, email, pictures, etc. I then develop the patterns, show them to you, get your approval and begin the crafting process. Because your custom project is unique to you, I ask for a non-refundable deposit of half of the bid before I begin the crafting.
What items do I do?
I can create a wide variety of personal items, household items and leather art. If you have an idea please contact me about it. If it's beyond my skill set, I'll let you know. On the example page, I've put a large number of pictures of items I've created in the past. I maintain a small inventory for showing the kinds of things that I make. I take these to events as examples, so a few of the items pictured may still be available. Please take a look at the various galleries on the example page, then contact me with your ideas.
What items have I chosen not to do?
Although I can do some horse tack items, I am not set up to create saddles at the present time. I can handle some saddle repairs, so feel free to ask about them. I have decided that I don't have the right equipment to do a nice job on leather clothing such as jackets, shirts, skirts or pants. I am able to create custom chaps.
