List Monday

 

How does it feel to be 5 weeks into 2024?  It is always exciting to begin again with experiences, projects, techniques or tools for me.  A new addition to designs this year will be leather components. Over the years I would pick up tools, leather and findings that could be used for leather work or also artisan jewelry.  I love putting together a collection of tools for each new project or projects coming up.  NOW I have a pretty cool studio kit for all of the collected leather related tools and findings over the years plus, you guessed it, new purchases also.

Going down the leathercraft rabbit hole is dangerous especially after just buying tons of metalsmithing tools for 2024.
