I received some death fabric (aka: leather) with my initial Proofgrade offerings. It’s not something that I want. In fact, I’d like to expell it from the house. Anybody want to trade? I won’t judge you for wanting it if you don’t judge me for not wanting it. Local would be simplest, but I’m open to whatever. It’s two pieces of medium (says “standard”) natural leather in 5"x10". So, that’s about $20 in material. I’d exchange for a different material or maybe you’ve got a cool project or a first born child.
Can trade you an eco-friendly birdhouse design for it, if you’ve got a lot of recyclable cardboard on hand…I finally finished numbering all the blasted layers and laying it out.
(It repurposes a LOT of cardboard.)
If anyone else wants it, I don’t really do that much leather work, but I hate to waste it or the poor beastie died for nothing.
A piece of 5x10 leather costs $20? Well, I was planning to avoid it bc of the smell, but now I will definitely be avoiding it because both those reasons.
You say you prefer local, but don’t say where you are. I’d be interested if you’re in the Seattle area.
Edit: you’re in Lakewood? I could plan a trip this weekend down to Tacoma to visit family and trade. I’ll make a list of what I’ve got in stock later this evening if that suits you.
I know one of the suggestions I made way back when was possibly being able to get vegan "leather’ like the one made from mushrooms…not sure what to do with PG leather I got as well.
I see you’ve already got several takers, and I don’t want to step on any toes. In the unlikely event that one of those options falls through, I’d be interested.
I dont have any frame of reference for buying leather, so maybe it’s all priced like that (and I don’t have access to proofgrade pricing, so maybe that is average?). I’d just be a little scared to use it. Maybe I’ll just be lasering paper. Lol.
Well, if there are any vegan/vegitarian GForgers in the Texas Hill Country, who wish to be rid of their Death (Leather) Samples. I’m more than happy to put them to “good” use.
If anyone finds alternatives to leather, let us all know. No reason to diswade a growing portion of the populace from possible opportunities.
