Very cool Nighthawk!! I am not as advanced to have a smart phone...but I do have an Ipod touch, and that would be awesome for it!

I'm absolutely not an impulse buyer, but if it fit my phone I'd sure want to buy one immediately. Those look fantastic.

Yeah I think $35's a fair price. It's not everyday you get anything nice thats handmade and original such as these. Good job

Twenty five bucks is a steal! I think you could price it quite a bit higher and still sell, but as you said, it's for charity.

Very nice work.

These are verra nice indeed NightHawk. I agree also that $35 is a fair price. You should be able to sell these without to much hassle.

Does your group have a website? It seems very interesting, and I'd like to take a look.

Thanks,
Mike

Yessir! We are at www.renscots.org One of the projects I plan on using for demos over the coming festival season is a targe. As you know, it's got a little of everything- edge finishing, tooling, dying, antiquing, usage of different kids of leather- with the exception of stitching and braiding, it's an all-around project! I'll probably use the season to make myself a new sporran, as well, just so I can use it to teach stitching. And back on the subject of the targe, I have a lovely elk hide that I'm using for the back. Tandy Leather has then on sale for $2.99 a foot! Got a 24 foot elk hide for like $70! Even if it were mediocre, which it's not, that would still be a good deal. But the quality is fantastic! So if you're in need... Anyways, I'm way off subject. We're also on FaceBook, if you'd like to friend us.

Where would I go to get one of those awesome tooth closure thingies?

I'm about to dive into some simple leatherworking, both feet first... and start with a sporran.

Very nice work indeed, Sir! $35 is a fine price for them, too, I think.

As for wether or not I'd be interested, I'll tell you this: If I were a cell phone on the belt type of guy, as many are, I'd be very interested!

I would happily pay $35.00 for one of your creations. Beautiful work!
