Here are those leather collages i was talking about. One of my current projects.
Some are on wood canvas but most are just on re-used shelves or pieces of wood.
I am also working on a series of paintings. i'm using every single last bit of paint i have right now, i can't wait until friday when i can go shopping and replenish the supply. but it's fun trying to use what you have left in a fashionable and pretty way.
