If a coconut falling from an 80 foot tree is traveling at about 50 MPH when it hits the ground please give me a shorter tree

Hey, which vegetable do they get the leather from?

Not technically a vegetable, except in the concept of "vegetable matter", it's mostly oak tannins.

Thanks for the great tutorial on mask making! can you use faux leather? I work with some interior designers and I can get my hands on some faux leather samples. but real leather, I am not sure about. I do art on a budget, as in cheap as I can... free is better lol

Faux leather has the same properties as the other types of leather that's used for upholstery and so forth. Vegetable tanned leather is the only kind that will hold its shape after being wetted and dried, so sorry to say, nope the faux leather is a no go.

Thanks for the great tutorial on making leather masks! It was very informative. I have been making leather bracelets and other things for quite sometime but never really knew how to mold the leather and such. I want to make a long nosed style mask and was wondering if you had any pointers on how to shape the nose piece as it would be difficult to mold the features on your face as well as molding the nose at the same time.
Thanks! And again wonderful tutorial!

I'd look for something triangular and wedge shaped to use as a mold, if nothing else you could stack cardboard together, glue it, and cut it into the shape you want. The leather shouldn't be soaking wet when you're forming it, so the cardboard should last a few goes at least.

I never do see deviants from Iowa any more, since DA took away the location finder.

Hey no problem, it's a fabulous piece, very professional looking.
Thanks about the masks, I'm getting to that stage though where everything I've done in the past looks crappy. >_< Need to churn out some new stuff.

Hah I wish I did! Just taking lessons for now, finally found a place near me that isn't super snooty. Next week I'm upping the lessons to a full hour instead of a half hour, I think I'll take pics if I remember my camera...
