the story goes like this...
i was at red envelope yesterday handing sharon (the owner) 3 sets of elephant coasters :) whoot! and i was yacking away like usual and sort of twiddling some cute leather keychains by her counter.
off hand i said ... "i wonder where i could find some pieces of leather"
sharon asked "for what"?
i said "well ... i dunno yet, crafts i guess"
sharon smiled and tore out a little piece of paper, wrote an address and phone number on it and handed it to me.
"go find my sister, she deals with leather"
i looked at her "but i only need a couple of small pieces, old ones that no one wants"
sharon said "go find my sister"
so i went today :)
have no idea what i'm gonna do with them but i can't wait to get my hands on them :) scraps that no one wants ... i got them! i'm stoked!!
happy pimping! :)

Hey there, wow, all that leather - imagine mixed media paintings with leather flowers throughout - my mom gave me a heap of leather too a few months ago and I stretched it over wooden frames (like a canvas) then painted on them, they turned out really good - make sure you show us what you make with this treasure!!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! That's the best way to get things- talk about what you need with everyone, and someone is bound to be that ONE person that can help ;)
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide to do with them, I want to see photos!
