Portable leather shop takes to the Atlantic Ocean
Yesterday I took my leather projects to the ocean and finished up some leather bowls while perched on the rocky shore of Blue Rocks, Nova Scotia. Everything is better outside.
NEW! Leather bowls for sale
The newest member of the Outsider collection is what I'm calling a "leather bowl".
It comes in two sizes (small and large) and its purpose, though tricky to nail down could be described as any of these:
plant holder
key 'n phone catcher
candle holder
fruit bowl
pen 'n pencil holder
...
Each piece is handmade and lovingly finished with a beeswax conditioner. Because the leather is not dyed, it will darken as you use it and touch it.
The purse: plain and simple.
Last week I made a purse for a friend. She needed something that would hold important books and a few personal items. She also preferred a long shoulder strap for easy bicycle riding. So, with simple tools and several evenings I came up with this.
This vegetable tanned leather will age beautifully with years of use, as will the brass hardware.
