    leather

    Anyone make belts, purses, shoes, saddles or anything out of leather or suede?

    Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a white government official; "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."

    The Chief nodded in agreement.

    The official continued; "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"

    The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied.. "When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine Man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex."

    Then the chief leaned back and smiled; "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

    Re: leather

    I have some experience with leather. Belts, wallets, holsters, drums, rattles, scourges and other fun tools.
    why do you ask?

        I've done a lot of work in leather and rawhide and even taught classes but I never take pictures. If it is a ritual device, it seems disrespectful to take pictures and if it is for me I don't need the pictures.
        I have some pictures of automatic transmission parts that I have modified for performance and even some finished transmissions but that was all part of my business. Hobbies are just for enjoyment and making ritual tools is , well, magikal.

          I've dabbled in making masks out of leather. It's actually a lot of fun but was a very short lived hobby of mine that I truly wished I would pick up again. Alas, it's one of those hobbies that's more fun with (to me) with another person or more and I don't have that at the moment.

              I started working with leather! I make leather bookmarks, holsters, keychains, wallets, utility tool holders, and a few other things. I can get pictures of them later for you ^_^
