They're all really cool, but my eye keeps getting drawn towards the brown pendant in the back. Can't wait to see more! Awesome!

Leatherwork is something I've always admired and never had the opportunity to get into. I especially love the flower. It's SO sweet! Charming!

Still have the tools and even some leather left. No paints though. Anyhow, for the pendants... I suggest that you glue another piece on to the back side so that when the pendant flips over there is a nice clean side or another design on the back as well. I usually just use a very thin piece of cow leather or some pig skin (I know, it sounds gross but actually is used quite often to line cow leather items). It makes things look more 'professionally" done. Isn't working with leather great?! =-) I’ve done leather tooling as well, used to tool the designs on saddles and other gear.
