Lettuce coin purse

My partner in the Common Ground swap is interested in learning leatherwork. My grandpa used to do a lot of amazing leatherwork, but as I did not grow up near him, I did not learn this skill. I thought I would give it a try, so I bought this kit.

I learned you can use woodburning tools on leatherwork, so I stamped this awsome lettuce stamp @JoyfulClover handcarved for me and burned the design on both sides. Then, I painted it in with acrylic paint.

I didn’t mind that part, but learned I don’t enjoy the sewing part.

Anyway, it’s a cool one of a kind item!

So cool that you tried your hand at your grandfather’s craft! It came out great, and it was a brilliant idea to use the stamp to create the image for the wood burning tool!
