    I make trendy custom accessories...wallets, purses, belts, cuffs, etc. Pretty much everything and anything, except apparel. Im in talks with a few boutiques here in So Cal about displaying my work and Im heading to Vegas next month to meet with some others as well. Its part of my profession...definitely supplements my income...

    I worked leather goods for a few years. wallets, purses, and belts mostly. Hand tooled everything. airbrushed and dyed everything. My items were quite pricey in relation to the other items of their kind because the quality and artistry was worth more to my clients. It has been years but I always tell myself Id like to do it again. What do you do?

    Right on bro...so you know what all goes into designing, creating and finishing a good product. Why did you put it on hold...? What style was your work?
