experimenting with leather

I started playing with ways to make the cords for my pendants be a part of the piece. This doesn’t hit the mark, but it is the start of an idea that I want to play with. I like the idea of more of a lariat style. The scale is off. I’m not wild about the colors. It is too long. I would consider it a good experiment in what I DON’T want it to look like. Back to the drawing board. Oh, how I love process.

Scattered Studio Time This Week

We all have those weeks when our time just doesn’t quite end up the way we envisioned. So, when I only have time for a short day at the studio I work on these pendants and not more involved projects. I do like the sense of completion but I miss the more detailed work of the leather quilting. I think I get a pretty long stretch tomorrow (fingers crossed). So far the calendar is cooperating. I hope in the near future you all get a long stretch of time pursuing something that makes you happy!
