so it's time for another designer.
This week I've gone in search of more leather products and returned to that hive of creativity, Etsy.
It wasn't long before I found a braided leather bracelet by Art of Spirit Leatherworks. It's smart, it's chunky and I love it.
According to her profile, American designer Kathy Fowler has been working with leather for over 35 years and believes leather has a look and feel that no synthetic material can replicate. Of course, doing what we do we'd be inclined to agree with her and we're always happy to find people who appear to give the material the respect it deserves.
On visiting the main website I found many more chunky leather cuffs, bracelets, necklaces and deer hide pouches which remind me of the wild wild west. They are available to purchase at various craft fairs and her own shop in America but if that's a bit far for you to travel you can buy online through her Etsy shop at www.aosleather.etsy.com
Due to the individual nature and small scale production these items aren't the sort of thing you are going to find in the mainstream high street so, if you have a hidden cowgirl (or boy) in you, why not take a look.
