How can a yummy fish be so beautiful?
The colours are just divine! The leather is soft, yet very strong. I received some sample leathers a week ago of pearch, salmon and wolfish.
Here is a sample bracelet made with a vibrant red salmon leather with my pewter and silver braiding. An antler horn felt wrong so I sew in a pewter button instead. Maybe a beautiful silver clasp would be more suitable, but I am very happy with the result.
What a fantastic way to use the WHOLE fish, we eat the fish and wear the leather!
There is panels of this leather available as well as washable (in 30degrees) salmon so very suitable for clothing. I have seen pictures of bags, belts and even shoes made in this fabric and they look fantastic.
Any craft people interested in using this fantastic leather, be it in jewellery, fashion or even in interior ie. cushion, let me know.
I'll post some more pictures of the salmon as well as of the pearch (a thicker and rougher leather) and Wolf fish (a scaleless spotty smooth leather) for all to see soon.
Time to creative!
Cheers
