1st leather craft project

[chaoswolf]

selkit told me to create stuff after the con. I agreed, mostly because I needed something besides packing that I would enjoy/learn from. I discovered this quaint little PaperPalm when mdlbear and I went to the Computer History Museum. I filled a few gaps in Millenium's Dawn about things I didn't know (Deep Blue, Hal, etc) and thought wait a second. I have a geeky PDA now. I must create a pouch for it, since I'll be using it when I go north. Hmmm.... "Dad, can we stop @ REI on the way home?" Dad agreed, we went to REI, picked up a purple bandanna for Mom, a UnderArmor white shirt, nylon webbing, belt of similar, a few buckles and some other gizmos that I figured would be useful in my craft efforts. Dad got a new hat and something else, I forgot. But, I made this pouch today. I'm a leather crafter now. *evil laugh.*

Oh, that's just too funny and cute. :)

I took a leather class at (of all things) the SoCal RenFaire pre-faire workshops, and they introduced me to multiple leather punches - it looks like a punch with a fork on the end, with 4 (or more) punches evenly spaced. Using one of these I finished my first ever pouch in way less than an hour!

I would love to get my paws on a class like that, possibly tools too. My own tools are inadequate.

Tandy leather has an online catalog, and sells 4 and 5 hole punches (I got one... soooo useful.)

Money, though. That's my problem.

I find that really clever.
