I could not walk away without any of these pieces from this leather place ! it was hard to choose, and perhaps not a bad thing I wasn’t carrying a larger amount of cash that day!
UL- A fine leather with metallicised finish in a very muted geometric crazy paving look.
UR – A very rough suede ‘rustico’, looks rather battered but in addition to a few holes (love them) there are subtle smudges of dark gold/bronze paint randomly here and there.
LL -a really fine piece of suede, like a car washing chamois, drapes beautifully, one side dusted with old gold.
LR – another rustic looking piece, very rough in finish, shreds hanging off in some areas, holes of course, in a deep charcoal or very dull faded blackish colour.
Will I use these? I certainly plan to, including thinking about some ways to use the holey parts whey they occur. Working small… Textured stitchery? Mounted on small artist mount/frame thingies? … I’m thinking, and with this in mind plan to acquire a serious stapler today.

I always loved the pieces with holes when I was buying hides for making all the old pagan gear, too … it’s almost like lace sometimes, very decorative. I’m drooling just a little here, especially over that gold piece. Yum.
Exactly – lace – I have been intrigued by holes for some time as you may have realised if you have been dipping in regularly. these pieces have led to a coup-le of small works being posted today, really samples of other ideas….I am contemplating the gold, it lookas and feels most interesting.
oh yes, I keep up here 🙂 I like your little pieces, esp the one on the left.
