Getting back in the swing of things. Finished 30 latigo dog leashes yesterday. Not too exciting but they are good quality and people love them!

Also finished these suspenders. He likes Celtics designs.

A peek of what goes on outside the leather shop. Driving a tractor to cut hay.

➤ Here’s a peek behind the scenes at another work in progress: a hand-crafted horse head, just taking shape in my workshop. After carefully sketching the outline, I begin the rewarding process of creating 3D volume by working the leather, one careful step at a time.

❃ Every muscle, every curve, and every detail is shaped by hand with special attention-this is where the piece truly starts to come alive. My goal is to capture the spirit and grace of the horse, blending country western inspiration with a touch of elegance. There’s something meaningful about honoring the beauty of God’s creatures through craftsmanship and dedication.

Thank you for following along on this journey. Each piece I create is one-of-a-kind, made with heart and over 25 years of experience. If you love unique, hand-crafted leather art, you found your community!

➤➤ 3D Leather Art - look at the DETAIL & DEPTH

There’s something truly special about capturing a moment of wild beauty in leather. The textures, every row of teeth (yes, there are three!), and every splash of water is carefully hand-tooled and painted to create a scene that feels alive.

This piece is a true testament to the patience, skill, and love I pour into every creation, inspired by the simple wonders I see around my world.

➤ There’s something special about the early stages of a new design-when the vision is just beginning to take shape on a fresh piece of leather. Here’s a sneak peek at one of my work in progress, featuring horses that capture the spirit and beauty of the country life I love so much.

❃ Wishing you all a wonderful weekend filled with simple joys, a little adventure, and the comfort of knowing that every masterpiece starts with a single step. Thank you for supporting handcrafted art and the values that make each piece unique.
