Guest Crafter: It runs in the family...
Today, I want to share some crafting with you that isn't even mine! It's my dad's!!
Dad has a tendency to embrace his hobbies like a choking victim claws the floor. Meaning, he goes WHOLE HOG or he goes home. It's been a long parade: corvettes, scuba equipment and boat, ham radio, golf, Harleys. Now, he's all about cowboys and shooting enthusiast stuff.
A little while ago, he decided to start working on his own leather projects. These ambitions started small and recently have developed into massive undertakings that I am AMAZED he made himself. He dyes the leather, cuts it, sews it, and most incredibly does every bit of the stamped embossing. And no - he does not have a big flower stamp that he presses into the leather. At Christmas, he showed us the flower design in a book of templates. He then pressed into the leather to match it, using etching tools.
This project is his new gun belt or as he says "his new rig." He decided to make something similar to the Roy Rogers version he wore when he was 10. Sadly, that one doesn't fit anymore.
I think that Dad should start making leather purses and then I can market them and together we can put Coach out of business and then I won't have to go work every day. But, in lieu of that master plan, we should at the very least make him an Etsy page.

Psssttt...
...I've set up an itty bitty Etsy shop!
Itty bitty because there is only one item in it right now!
You can check out the link over there on the right... and hopefully, there will be more to come in my shop!
I'm encouraged by the fact that I just "opened" for business and 4 people have already visited my shop. I know, I know. 4 people... practically a mob scene. But, we start small and then envision great things.
Truthfully, I don't know how well stocked the Etsy shop will be before the holidays. Between Vix and the upcoming craft sale at the University City Arts League, most of my stuff is being directed somewhere already. But, I thought that starting a spot over at Etsy would make me feel more legitimate in a way... and maybe that will inspire me to just craft every waking hour. LOL
