All leather is NOT created equal. Imperfections in leather are what make it unique. However, imperfections can be due to the age of the animal, bug bites, injuries, dyeing, scratches, stretching, or as a result of the leather-drying process, which are not necessarily inclusive.
"WOW!....you are in a league of your own....do you realize how few black leather artists there are in this country? And not to mention black WOMEN!!!!! I cannot remember one black man that tooled leather seriously in Indy and I only have 4 black artists here in Ft. Worth and they are all men! And out of those 4 only one does what I call QUALITY work! Your work as it stands now equals three of theirs!" ...Laura Gutowsky, Leather Master (also my mentor)
