Leather crafts self taught two weeks ago. Inspired by rosepetalznthorns; I wanted to make a thank you gift especially for her. Having been unable to find the gift item which I wanted to give her, I created one! I'm doing key chains now. When there's a bit of extra money, I hope to make some check books and clutch wallets. My cheapie web cam doesn't show colors accurately, the J light blue semi is about the closest to an accurate representation of a natural background.
