Starting this year with a commercial project. This 3D printed stamp test is to ensure that the thickness of the art works at the needed size. (Yes I forgot to mirror!) Approval is still needed before finalizing.

It’s always after all the color is added that you really see how things will look.

Next part is finished. The last two parts just need to be cut. Then on to color!
Any guesses as what it will be?

It doesn’t always happen, but it’s great when it does. This award is because others enjoyed interacting with our booth. We had a wonderful weekend! What did you like at the Maker Faire this year?

Punching all the holes always leaves me with leather confetti. Then it’s time to figure out what #MaineThread I want to use with each.

Making use of scraps for small projects in leather. These coin pouches came out smaller than I would have hoped. But it does help reduce scraps.
