ABC Wednesday

L is for Leather

There are some amazing artists out there who work with leather. Just look at this beautiful water bottle by Paul Krause of PK Bootmaker:

I would love to have that water bottle!


We haven’t much experience with the hobby of leather working. The kids did a few odds-n-ends like knife sheaths when they were little. And we did learn how to tan our own hides during the years we raised rabbits and sheep. But we never did anything with them. One time Hubby and our daughter took a class at the local bead store on making small beaded leather bags. Here’s the one our daughter finished:



That’s it for “L”!

Lots of folks participate in ABC Wednesday, be sure to check out more blogs!

So lovely. I too love the smell of good leather. Excellent choice for the letter L.

My parents did a lot of leather work and then shared their talents with kids in a parks and recreation program. I tried a few things as a kid, but never really got good at it, but I still have all of my dad's tools. I chose lake for my contribution. I invite you to come see my 10,000 year old lake water. - Margy
