I think I may have a love affair with leather. This is what I have been up to in my leather-working studio...okay, okay...it's just my sewing studio with another table in it.

Fabulous pieces Don.
You have been really creative! Leather is so versatile, isn't it? I particularly love the pouches
the double wrap belt is fabulous!
loving this! especially the leather necklace pouches. go you!
All great pieces, as usual. What a perfect time you have at work.

I understand completely! A friend recently gifted me a box of leather hides. I finally dove in and discovered that leather is amazingly different from working with fabric, and in many ways much easier & more intuitive. Once you have the love, it's hard to shake. Great work!
So clean and modern!

What do I have to do to join Black Leather Club? Anything dangerous? It sure looks like an inspiring place to be. Great work Don, as always.
You do such wonderful stuff, i'm thinking I will need to do a trip to Sydney to your next market to snap up a few pieces...
Louise...I can make it dangerous if you like! Thanks for dropping by.
Piece of Cloth- See you soon....or check my Etsy store!

I love those wrap belts! So much sexier than the ones we had back in the 80's!
Your leather pieces are so wonderful!!! And I bet your workshop smells lovely & leathery too~
So pleased to see you doing so much fabulous work and selling it! the skirt in the post below is so fantastic. I love your designs.
Carina Spencer's link to your Modern Wool Exhibition post led me to your blog, which I'm glad for - It's very inspiring (and I really like the necklaces)!
